Linux OC'ing utils?

Are there any stresstest tools for Linux at all? I'm trying to test a system with 8GB of RAM and only have x32 Windows, my x64 disk is in the post but I'm impatient....

So I've installed x64 ubuntu, what next? Is there anything like p95 and speedfan?

Nope.

Tho you can test all 8gb in Memtest86+.

*edit*

You could actually try running Folding@Home in x64 Ubuntu. You'd need to run 4 standard clients to fully stress a quad.

There's a Prime95 linux client...

Oooooh! Has it been updated lately to run on more than 1 core?

Last time I ran it on a dual core under Fedora, running 2 instances fully loaded each core.

I'll give p95 a whirl, thanks.

I've just got the quad up and running, as I had totally redo my WC loop, plus I had a leak, but it's all been sorted now. :eek:

I'm pretty sure there's a version of SuperPI for Linux.
