Which stress tests do you recommend?

Hi, I've never used any type of stress tests before, as I do not overclock much.

I always hear about orthos and others.
What programs would you recommend to fully test the stability of a system?

Thanks

Prime95 and memtest for the memory. Orthos is dual Prime95 for dual core CPU's

I think Guitar Daddy means Prime95 for single core CPU's . If you OC your videocard you will want 3dmark and ATI tool to make sure it's stable. There's a great sticky in CPU/Processors/Ocing about overclocking A64's.

Our very own CPU/Overclocking forum is a pretty good resource.
