No, I don't. linx/prime are programs that solve linear equations/test integers for primeness, mersenne primes in particular. "Stability" is a state of being that applies only to the instant of time to which it is referenced. So to explain that a 'stability tool' is a 'stability app', tells me nothing. Maybe a better question is "what is 'stability' "because there seems to be a lot of confusion about this easily defineable word.

What purpose other than stability do you use these for dude? Didn't think so, now please lay off the bullsh**. Thanks for the much needed lesson :P

I answered this in my post, I'll state it once more just for you:

Prime95 tests integers of the form (2^n) -1 for primeness
Linpack solves systems of linearly independent equations. As to "stability",
there is no such thing as a program that guarantees stability.
And that's no bullsh**.

Who mentioned or spoke of guaranteed stability? What are you arguing about?

ReverendMaynard mentioned a "stability tool", presumably a tool that determines "stability".

That is not "Guaranteed" Stability. Determining stability is a determination, and a determination by definition that is a quantitative outcome by degree. Since the outcomes is variable, and by definition mathematically determined, there can be (and is) no guarantee.

Determining stability is not the same as guaranteeing the stability.

Well put!
Determining stability is simple...boot the computer, see if it works properly,
even if all you do is stare at the screen, you need not even move the mouse around.
Even if these so-called "stability tools" worked, the best they could do is *predict* stability, not guarantee it. But there certainly is a guarantee,
the one we all know about, the three year guarantee by Intel.
