Hi all,

Anyone have any advice on what software to use for stress testing the platforms mentioned in the Subject ?

Ideally maybe some links to some bootable floppy images with said software on that I can just put on a Gotek formatted USB stick ?

Do you mean like long term component stress tests or something more specific?

I Just bang 3dmark99 on a loop for a few hours. Of course that is thorough testing but is a good enough indicator for me.

HI don't know off a all in one stress test tool for such a old system. However memtest and prime95 are good tools. 3d mark will put a good load on the computer too. but not what I would call a stress test.

Mostly likely.

AMI Diag. That was made for that purpose.

Can that also stress the GPU? A better question to ask Xs1nX would be if he needs to stress the GPU as well.
