Further thoughts?
I'm still a noob at this whole thing, but it was pretty apparent that XP32bit would crunch for days on end with no problems whatsoever at 191x21 with 1.35 vcore. With W7 RC1 64 bit, though, I had to make changes. Maybe it is just bugs in the actual OS as opposed to a difference in inherent stability?
