What "overclocker benchmarks" did you use? Anything other than Prime95, Memtest86 and Burnk7 is pretty much useless for testing the stability of the cpu/memory. Other programs MAY do such a thing but not nearly as well. As I said before, go ahead and try to crash my CPU via overclocking instabilities. Won't happen. ;) If I ran 2.6GHz, yeah. It'll be unstable. 2.46GHz is 100% rock solid stable and I'd be willing to bet my entire system on it, too. Prime95 runs on linux too by the way, if you want a copy go to http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.html Right now it appears their server is down though, thats not usual so check back every so often. Also, www.memtest86.com. If you haven't tested your memory with that you may want to give it a shot.
