3dmark - gpu performance can use for light stability testing (w7)
furmark - gpu stability, normally used to test for errors when overclocking gpu (w7)
cinebench - gpu/cpu performance can be used for stability test w7
HD tach - hard drive performance (need to run windows xp compatibility with in w7)
prime95 - cpu and full system stability - good to find max temp of your cpu/chipsets (w7)
super pi - cpu/system benchmark can use for light stability testing (w7)
mem test - as title this tests your memory for errors. best way is to run from usb pen
