How good of an indicator is prime in real life usage as compared to say stability in spi32m and SnM? I have a proc that does ~2975 with 1.55v 32m stable, not sure about SnM. But it def does 2900 32m and SnM stable yet fails prime at 2900. To be fair though i think the prime issue may be related to memory/motherboard. Im using an epox 9nda3+ with gskill 2gb zx and i dont think the ram likes the motherboard. I really would like to know if anyone has played around with these processors on different mobos and seen large differences moving from one platform to another. At this point id like to say my mobo is the problem but i cant be sure.
