That's not quite true Jason. You can have a chip running hot enough it's introducing errors into the computations but not crashing apps. Try a Prime95 torture test and see what I mean. It calculates Mersenne Primes and under the torture test trys to recompute a number of mersenne primes. Because it's testing against a known good value, it's able to detect if any of the math calculations are unstable due to heat. And yes I do overclock. :P Running an Athlon XPm 2500+ @ 2.5GHz(stock: 1.8GHz). Temps never crack 40c on air cooling and the rig is rock solid. -Andrew -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
