What to test on a new computer?

[ericschand]

I bought a computer online and it's refurbished.
I downloaded Ubuntu live and then ran some tests.

I tested the CPU with cpuburn. They say go 10 minutes, but I went 20 minutes without failure.

I tested the memory with memtest86+. I ran that overnight, no failures.

What else can I possibly test to verify working condition?

Do a =sum( function in excel and see how fast it runs the algorithm.

Prime 95 on small FTT and blend tests. Make sure it's prime stable for 24 hours.

Then test 3D with furmark if it has a graphics card.

Everything passed, no errors. Also noticed it would sit at between 50 and 55C for the majority of the time. Very quickly cooled off to 32C once complete.

Thanks,

Test the little cup holder that slides out on the front of the box.

Sounds like it works fine, double check previous posters recommendation

Nice try, but he said he's a Linux user, not a Mac user.
