And is there any tests for burning memory too?

Thanks again guys! Im in a maad rush to get things together before i28!!

Folding@Home works for me, and the CPU load can be changed, which can be helpful

P95 also does the trick, tho if you`re not 100% stable, it`ll fall apart



for memory...Memtest is the way to go

memtest85 tends to be the most common method for memory. Find your current stable speed then edge it by a couple of MHz until you get only a few errors, then the errors should slowly decrease. Keep upping it bit by bit!

I like using SP2004, it is basically prime95 but with a better interface which tells you how long you have been running it, and gives you easy info on whether you are testing just the CPU, or the RAM and the CPU.

And you can alter the priority of the program if you need to use the system and it is too slow.

I haven't used that one - it sounds quite good, I think I'll have to give it a try with my new system

Burnin Test Pro v5.1

I use and highly recommend PassMark Software's Burnin Test Professional.

You may eval any of their production-test quality tools without restrictions for 30-days. Note that there is a specific x64 version of Burnin Test Professional for MS Windows XP x64.
