I purchased the current Everest Ultimate.

 

How good is the built-in stability test?

Other then starting it a few times I've never used it. It will fully load both cores of a DC processor and raise the temperature comparable to other more popular programs. But I have seen very little info regarding what methods it uses to stress the cpu and memory.

Was about to mention Orthos before seeing that post. :)

Not sure about other progs, but found that dual-priming with it set to test more mem in total than was currently available (not tied up with OS/apps) resulted in immediate BSODs and restarts. Mind, this was running the sig rig with inferior mem, before getting decent stuff. Should maybe check what's being used first though, and adjust.

Good thread, no excuses now.:D

 

edit - Sorry, I meant Prime95. Unrelated comments.

If you specify the same amount of memory in Orthos that Happy_Games does in Prime95 there shouldn't be any issues. 400MB per instance for 1GB and 800MB per instance of 2GB of memory.
