    The quintessential burn in software.

    Absolutely the best burnin test I have found. It does exactly what you need to test CPU stability at standard or overclocked settings. This program is by the same author as "Passmarks" Performance Test, which is the best true system benchmarking program out there IMHO.

    It's not perfect, but if you're a tech or just the resident guy who gets stuck troubleshooting other people's systems, this is one tool to always have on hand. It does what it should, and helps you narrow down what component or drivers are causing problems. Good stuff. Not the prettiest thing around, not the most-perfect, but at a file size that fits on a single floppy it's just too useful. And I always make sure the install is tossed onto any Tech CD's I put together.

    Seems very basic. Absolutely not bad though. Can't say the same about the interface which have been the same for all of it's existens. Really uninteresting, needs a big punch.
