Best free stress test software?

Hi,

Im looking for some kind of hardware stress test that I can put onto a floppy disk and get the system to boot up on that.

I build computers and when sometimes there is no Operating System, it is good to just give the system a quick burn.

I used to have a tester that was bundled with 'memtest'. It would go through about 6 tests in a continuous loop and give a result saying whether it passed or not. Can't seem to find it online anywhere...

So what do you system builders out there use?

Lucifer, cpuburn and memtest86 are all good.... http://www.ultimatebootcd.com has lucifer built in and is completely free.

By the way, im kinda new at this, but how do you assign points?

Do they automatically get given to you once I grade (a, b, c) your reply?
How can I assign points AND keep the question open?
