But the point is, Prime stable doesnt mean stable. I couldnt believe it my self, but it's true. The fact I ran 14.5 hours Prime stable was WORTHLESS, it would freeze anyway.

If anything over 2.7Ghz BSOD's on 64bit, but runs Prime stable and such sorts at 2.9 on a 32bit OS... Really man, it still doesnt say anything. Best way to test stability is by using it 24/7, game a little, play music etc etc. And dont shut down the PC, leave it on for days while you do your 24/7 stuff. If it's still running fine after, then you can consider it to be stable pretty much yes. If it crashes after all, then it's most likely you'll reach the same OC as on a 64bit before it stops crashing.

I mean, Tony's OC is done on 64bit after all.
