One might think that as it is pretty much the standard in most credible forums. There are also forums where people consider Super Pi as good enough. I, personally, do not possess enough knowledge to state categorically that 8 hours of Prime proves stability. I do consider it to be an acceptable test as I have read so many posts by folks that have a great deal more knowledge than I that say so.
What are your credentials?

I do agree with this. I, personally have had a setup that was 8 hours Prime Stable (note I said Prime stable, which cannot be argued with) yet failed 3D MArk 06. Turned out my memory overclock was too high for 3D applications.

Wow, now this is an emphatic statement. Only people with iron clad reputations and credentials should make statements like this. Please, let us in on your background so that we may judge for ourselves if you are correct, or just have an overinflated opinion of your own self worth.
