Folks, When I bought this bare-bones box and plugged in "stuff" it took several days of figuring out what benchmark and other utilities to run to stress it. After a few weeks of pushing the load to 70+, the burning-in was a fair indicator that the HW would last. After 4+ years, no prob. Now I have a new box, custom built. Unfortunately, I've lost (or forgotten!) the same of the *.sh script and some of the utilities. So what should I be running and with an example of args? Last time I believe there were 5 or 6 stressors. Also, what's the memory testor utility calld? I have a gig of DDR in this new puppy, and want to be sure that every last BIT is good. Help much appreciated! gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
