    I think Prime has been around for more than a decade and with recent technology such as dual core and 45nm, perhaps it is no longer that relevant anymore as a stress tool?

    I'm not sure but what do you guys think? I'm sure there are good people around which could code a better stress test program?

    There is one - Linpack 64bit. 10-15C over Prime Small FFTs on C2Q is guaranteed. This is for average overclock, not exceeding 3.6GHz (talking about 65nm C2Q). Those with presumably "stable" 4+GHz will likely to see 20C or more.
