so far so good. 1 frame just completed on my dual 364 pointers i have folding. i will know in another 18 hours or so for sure though thats about how long is left on them.

It seems as though the majority of my problems were with that ECC thing. I am tempted to OC it a little and see if my memory works up to 250mhz with this CPU or not, but probably not for another 4 weeks or so. I just want to use it I have been game deprived nearly all year!

i may try out the advanced divider options though, since this ballistix isn't the best at default speeds. i will try that after the wu's complete.

Try just running the way you have it now, gaming will show you if it's stable (I would think) I know its hard for you having a Corvette and driving it like a VW bug, but try to resist...
