| Depending on which part of your rig you want to test, there are lots of options. I have some that I have used, and for what they're worth, they tell me that my system is performing like it should. Here are some that I have: - BenchEmAll (for testing your system against a host of gaming platforms. It uses actual game templates, and I think if you actually have the games it uses, it's more helpful) - CPUBurnIn (a CPU stress program) - MemTest (Like a BIOS version, but OS based and tests memory for errors, simple bench tests) - MetaBench (CPU and Video benchmarks) - Prime95 (another CPU stress test, also used for finding primes) - StressPrime2004 (sort of the same thing as P95) - Toast (a simple CPU test) - VideocardStabilitytest (a video card stress test - beware, the GPU heats up to max really fast on this one) - RightMarkMemory (tests memory, SPD and many other RAM functions) - 3DMark05/06 (Video card testing for graphics performance and fps. Choose the version depending if you have single core (3DM05) or dual core (3DM06)) If it's not fixed, then don't broke it! | ||||||||||||||
