Does anyone know any good tools / utilities for thourghly testing out a system, to make sure it is stable, and everything is working as it should.
I recently built a system for a friend and want to make sure it is ok before i hand it over to her.
I've already run memtest with no errors.
Also any utilities for getting back statistics, such as transfer rates of hard drives.
