Arctic Silver (www.arcticsilver.com), available from overclockers.co.uk, Telemart etc. is *the* stuff. > The only downside is the whole thing makes a _hell_ of a lot of noise. What?

For which ye tool of choice, at least for me, is Memtest86, available from: www.memtest86.com. Memory isn't worth scrimping on - my current fave supplier is www.crucial.com/uk - they are a subsidiary of Micron, one of the largest branded memory suppliers in the world. (As an aside, I recently got a 32MB DIMM for my Laserjet 2200D from them - HP original part: ~£220. Micron part ~£15 inc. delivery (those nos. are correct - about 7% of HP's price! Talk about exploiting the ignorant!). If you leave it running this for a day or two without error you can be pretty sure your system is stable, at least so far as the CPU, board and memory go. As for what you run on it... Andrew.
