Geek question!

I'm thinking of buying a used 'puter to "fold" with. Is there a easy to use software (freeware) test I can use on the box to check overall health? More than just a BIOS test. In other-words, is there a comprehensive set of tests/diagnostics I can take on a CD or USB pen drive that will make sure I'm not buying a lemon?

Well, the number one tester that I use is F@H. I load it on and if it completes a WU than the system is good to go.

Look here at majorgeeks.com for freeware system testers:
