And after running memtest86 run cpuburn (see 'man cpuburn' for parameters for your CPU) While running cpuburn use 'sensors' to measure your CPU temperature (assuming you have installed lm-sensors ) You should be able to run cpuburn for about 1 hour without exceeding the rated spec of your CPU. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
