What do you all think is the best program to run the CPU & 100&?
Wasn't there a quake 3 demo loop or somthing to test video?
Whats the best software cooling program, I tried Watterfall 1.23
but it does not support P3s or Athlons so it is of no use to me, if
there is a newer version that supports these CPUs...LET ME KNOW!

Also, please provide a link to the program, where I can
download it.

cpuburn (http://users.ev1.net/~redelm/) is THE program for load on the cpu, this baby makes my cpu 8C hotter than seti! :eek:

Toast is the ultimate stability test......5 minutes of Toast is like 24 hours of BurnIn

Well I have to vouge for "Toast" this burn in was able to get my temps 3C higher then anything else I've tried. Toast can be had here (http://www.aoafiles.com/) you'll need to look around a little. To test the systems stability you should be able to run Toast for atleat 10 min.

That IS a problem with Toast.... Seems like your system is frozen when it's just working REALLY hard...

Good thing they don't have an option for realtime priority :eek:

I can't say which gets me higher temps (cuz this darn HP mobo dosen't have a temp probe...), but my vote goes to Toast for "Most demanding program I've ever used". :)

Just tried toast, it sucks
cpuburn gave me more heat and I didn't even notice poor responsiveness at high priority, no locks after 10 mins of running either.

Hmm... There is a million more but I cannot recall the names,
what about them?

In my opinion Folding @ Home is the most interesting one.

I have seti but it doesn't generate anything like as much heat as toast or cpuburn.
