They should move that domain to inquisitor.es. For no special reason.

I think the one Nathan Smith is talking about is memtest86. It does a 
very good job of testing memory, but doesn't stress the CPU much at all.

I usually install folding at home on a machine and run that for a couple of 
days... then you'll be doing something worthwhile and stressing the CPU.
