We perform here a critical analysis of some non-supersymmetric gravity solutions in Type 0B string theory. We first consider the most general configuration of parallel N electric and M magnetic D3-branes. The field theory living on their worldvolume is non-supersymmetric and non-conformal (if N is different from M) and has gauge group SU(N)XSU(M). We study the IR regime of the conjectured dual gravity background. A fine tuned solution exists with an asymptotically vanishing tachyon and a running dilaton, which could correspond to a flow towards an IR isolated fixed point at strong coupling. This opens the question upon the possibility of extending AdS/CFT techniques to flows towards IR isolated fixed points. We then use D3-branes as probes of this and other Type 0 backgrounds available in literature which cover the M=0 (or N=0) case. We shaw that for the fine tuned IR conformal solutions the stacks of parallel branes are plagued by instabilities, due to the repulsive force between branes of the same type. Curiously, for a particular solution which could be dual to a confining gauge theory, the stack should instead be stable.
