RD600 first look and general questions

[bingo13]

Just a quick update -

I am running 3-3-3-6 1T at 866 currently with the E6600 at 7x511. This setting will pass every game benchmark, 3DMark, or PCMark we have run including a loop of 3D06 with Nero Recode running in the background converting a 8GB movie down to 4.7GB.

We still have some online game play to complete but the reason I bring this up is that Orthos and Dual 32M SuperPI will each fail within two minutes of being started. Also, under Orthos and the 3DMarks, my 7x511 (3577MHz) reads as 4579MHz, great for screenshots but not so great for accurate readings.

What is more important then? Application stability or Orthos stability? I vote for application stability as my last Orthos stable (6:53 h/m) setting failed three out of five game benchmarks along with 3D03 of all things before I started over.
