How to stress-test dual-CPU rig? (P3-800s)

[stultus]

I just built a dual P3-800 and found out prime95 won't stress both processors. What utility can I use? Also, how high can I expect to go on these chips? There is no voltage adjustment, but I have FSB settings of 103, 112, and 133 MHz. BX-chipset board.

If you install prime95 twice, except make the 2nd install in a different folder like prime95 2, you can run 2 separate instances of prime95 to benchmark both processors.

I use SETIDriver to run 2 SETI Clients. They will stress out your system. If your system is marginal, you'll see problems like overheating, locking up, etc.

but is prime95 "smart" enough to have one instance run off cpu 0 and other run off cpu 1?

No, but I made it smart and bound each instance to its own CPU. Looks like I'm totally stable at 112 FSB (896 MHz), but I don't think there's a prayer I'll be able to hit 8x133 = 1024. Are these processors multiplier lockeD? That could give me another way of OCing...
