test program

[Dambuster]

Is there a program that allows you to test your CPU under full load?

Like how? For stress testing, Prime 95 has been held as the best program for stressing the CPU. There's also StressPrime, which takes the Torture Test and slaps a nicer face on it. The only problem with using these programs is that you'll have to run one instance per core to stress them. I'm hearing good things about Orthos in regards to stress testing for multi-core systems.

one prob: in the description it says dual core, I have a Quad core... there might be a problem since it'll only stress 2 cores... I'm not sure
