pssst! you never heard me say this....
But if your still running prime 95 it's one of the best things out there for testing load and O/C stability!

You never heard this from me, I gotta live here ya know!

Unreal Tournament. Used to lock my computer every 5 minutes. Then I got a new PS. No more lockups. Switched to CAS 2, major lockups. UT seems to do a good job to me.

Sandra burn-in on continuous loop for at least 30 minutes, it ups my temps more than SETI does.

Ditto, UT is my final test after using toast or folding for a while. 3dMark is good too.

I have a new one.
I've used folding, 3dmark, sysoft, memtest, prime.. My main machine took it all without a hitch. Then, I did something that freaked it out. I scanned a doc using (USB) and at the same time printed on my color inkjet (multiple docs). My system acted up and then crashed. Go figure. Apparently, my printer doesn't like the oc. When I clock it down a bit, printing isn't a problem. I think the print spool for an inkjet dates back to when CPUs could barely keep up with the printer and had to be ready to send the next line of data.

Needless to say, I am now printing via lan to the inket on my wife's machine, and have my laser connected to my pc
. And my wife's celeron doesn't seem to mind one bit.
