tost is good for raiseing tempatures and such
but for ditecting instablity i would go with prime
it deals with numbers like this ( sorry for you 56kers) that number is prime by the way
then it does the caculation again after changeing a varable and if the numbers dont match up ( with the effects of the changed varable taken into acount) it spits out the error

Prime 95 is an excellent stability tester, but you'll also want to use something like toast or CPUBurn to make sure that your max temp isn't going to be too high to cause problems.
My PC would run Prime 95 forever, but then it locked up about 1 hour into some intensive gaming. I duplicated the lockup with CPUBurn and went and got myself a more powerful CPU fan for my SK6. All is well now!
