There is a new version (1.1.1b) that works perfectly under Vista but it tests only 256M of RAM per core

Unlike Prime95 blend mode, with only 1Gb on a quadcore, the FSB-NB-RAM are way much stressed. I never tested 500Mb on a C2D though, so can't compare. But look at the maximus thread. Many are now having their Prime stable, but not OCCT in RAM mode. If OCCT RAM fails, even F@H will fail from time to time on >12h run while OCCT RAM will fail in 1 to 2h. The new chips with a quad core are difficult to overclock because of an FSB-NB-RAM issue. Only OCCT in RAM mode unveals it, and F@H (but needs longer runs).
The Samurai in the maximus thread got his board at 3.9GHz on a Q6600 OCCT RAM stable

All Auto (just Strap @ 333).
Great FSB in deed. Now, go for your maximum CPU clock. Impatient to see your results too
