I recently acquired a few computers complete with Xp Pro licensing that I want to revamp and give to some families in my area who can't afford to buy one but I don't want to pass on bad hardware.

What's the best free hardware test application available for WinXp?

Either Orthos or Prime 95, both free, will tell you if you have a stable system.

Coretemp also does the same if you have a 65nm or larger chip, doesn't seem to play nice with the 45nm stuff.

Speedfan will test the HDs for free as well.

I don't want to push these machines to their limits I just want something I can use as a diagnostic tool. Something similar to TechTool for Macs but preferrably free.

I have an older build of a Linux Live CD stored somewhere but I'd prefer a standalone app I can run as needed. Anything other than what's above that I can use?
