I've heard of Memtest and Prim95 any others? And which do you think are best?

i only use prime95 and sisoft sandra. 3D games are good for stability tests too ;) prime95 is my favorite because it will tell you pretty quickly if theres invalid data creeping out of your rig.

My personal preference is Prime95 + MemTest. If you don't get any errors in either P95 or MT after several hours, then chances are, your system is stable.

S & M tester gets you to your max CPU temp readings faster than anything out there. It's not as good at RAM testing, but for CPU, it is FAST.
