Winchester 90nm and Prime95

[v142]

Just exactly how many ppl here have problems with prime stability on -stock- setting?

and stock meaning: auto settings on -all- the memory setting, not running 2-2-2-5-1T on ur PC4x00 just coz other TCCD chips can do it, for instance.

and if u have more than one set of memory try that too on rated timings too?

how many bad CPUs are we talkin about here, that cant run prime on real stock settings? 1 or 2? I read one was RMA

My best idea to sort this out is too let everyone who has problems with prime start a new tread, and list all components and settings used, too see if there is any combination of hardware that could be the cause.

Regarding OCin
My guess is that the memory controller is the limiting factor her, but the fact that the CPU "seems" stable on much higher speed, leeds too high hopes,
Just face it there IS a reason AMD didnt include the 3800+ in the first 90nm series launch.

On the other hand it does indeed seems strange why there hasnt been 90nm CPUs in stock the last 2 weeks, with still a week or two too go b4 new stock is said too arrive...
