IntelBurnTest - The new stress-testing program

[mazzy]

Prime95 is used in years to test stability. It's widely trusted. A stable pc run prime95 for any length of time you want without reporting error, If it failed your pc isn't stable period.
I agree that if you use your pc lightly you can't even see any BSOD or crashed but still your ALU's/FPU can't be trusted.
Can you ignore any prime error if IBT or whatever program you use runs just fine instead ? well yes, it's your pc, but if you want a trusted pc you can't.
Prime95 stress the pc in differente way to IBT, so it's reasonable that it can or can't show errors.
There's no One test to rule them all... the more different test you throw at your pc the better chances to uncover any instanbility.
There's no way to proof that a PC is stable, but more tests it passed higher is the probability that you pc is really stable.
For me make no sense ignore prime95 if it report error and trust only at IBT if the run ok, an Error is a error, if lowering the clock the test is passed that is a proof that the program is OK but your pc isn't.
