Well, I usually start with 5000-6000 problem size, say 15-20 passes, just to see if there's any chance for CPU to be stable at that frequency. If it passes OK then 10000 or maybe maximum memory (about 14K on my 2GBs) for 20-30 times. For me it's good enough to call it rock stable (CPU-wise at least). Some people prefer something like 100-200 Linpack passes at maximum possible memory though. It's a matter of taste I guess.
