one guy made a good point about doing orthos or prime 95 for "12" hours...he thought he was stable but his game would kick back to the desktop after a short period of time running it...so...there are no guarantees with orthos or prime 95 if you can do that for many hours...his fix for the game dropping back to the desktop was to increase the vcore.

that is why i am not so fixed on doing it for many hours...if i get 30 minutes that is good enough for me.
Well, I ran Orthos for 6 hours ok, gaming ok, memtest showed memory errors until I backed down from my previous settings of DDR2-970 4-4-4-12 2T 2.2v to DDR2-850 4-4-4-12 1T 2.1v

So...what does that mean?
