plz help: how to stress test?

[Boonesmi]

im looking for some info on how to stress test my system. and i cant run q3 because its a low end system with no open gl

first a little info. i just put this pc together with spare parts i already had, it has a k6/2 350mhz running at 400mhz

a matrox millenium pci 2mb video card
an old 10 base 3com NIC (ISA)
generic pci sound card
motorola (ISA) 56K modem
3 gig quantum hdd
24x pioneer cdrom
64mb micron pc133 (obviosly its only running at 100mhz now)

im thinking about selling this. but i want to make sure its going to be stable (overclocked 350 @400mhz) cause if not ill drop it back down.

normally i would run q3 in a loop for awhile, but this pc wont run q3.

hehehe ok ok now to the question....
what would be some good ways to test the system?

ZIP or RAR the entire windows directory at the highest compression settings. Or you can rip a CD and make MP3's.

Get quake 2 demo and run that.

A few things that I did for stress test:
playing mpeg/avi/qt video from the HD continuesly, while you run SETI@home or Prime95 in the background(prime95 is prefered), and you can try to play looping MP3s as well or playing CD audio from the CDROM(all of them running at the sametime). and maybe running a few other tasks at the same time, like system monitor, wintop, resource monitor and some other apps.

and let the computer run overnight..

Yep, SETI@Home would be good.
