    Prime will fail when there is some calculation that has not been done correctly. That can be seen as a small pixel glitch in say 3dMark but Prime will not just say small glitch, it will fail. That shows you that your system isn't doing it right and no matter what you can run there it is not stable. Scientific calculations are not done correctly, as simple as that.

    Prime95 is the ultimate measure of the stability of the system.

    I think what people are wondering is if something Prime is doing is causing the mem controllers to cause errors, when in fact nothing is wrong......
