I know superpi 32m and OCCT or considered "quick" tests for stability.
This post really made me wonder if burning in a K6 or Cyrix would help it out. Possible lower voltages and what not if memtest will pass.Kakabok said that his was unstable @ 266 Mhz. Re bus and divider locks, you are getting over my head. Ask KachiWachi.

What you want to do is go to your maximum stable overclock. Take the usual volts and reduce them below what would normally be stable. However You want the voltage high enough that the PC will not crash for atleast a few hours during each session.
I believe hot cpu tester is the app or choice to burn in with.It usually takes a couple times to get the hang of it, but keep with it. While this is not GARUNTEED to work it does to some extent on any CPU reguardless of how old it is. As always your milliage *will* vary.
