Soak test program to test A1200 stability?
« on: January 20, 2010, 10:39:12 PM »
I've finally got round to using thermal adhesive tape to re-attach the HSF to my 1240 accelerator (040-FPU, 64MB RAM).  I played Worms for about 30 minutes without problems, but because I've had problems the last few times I played on that Amiga, probably with games that are too old for this spec, I'd like someone to recommend a program I could use to give my machine a good bit of testing.

spec:  C= A1200, 1240 accelerator, 40MHz 040 + FPU + 64MB RAM
850MB IDE disk, 2.5"
Everything else stock, except I'm using an A500 PSU.

I have a mandelbrot screensaver that I pulled down from Aminet that I've used to see if my Amiga was working.  I usually leave it running for 4 or 5 hours to see if there's any heat related issues.  

I just looked for software on Aminet that might do a system test.  Perhaps a speed test would do the trick but, other than SysInfo nothing comes to mind.  

Anyone, is there something better than SysInfo for this??

Where can I get SysSpeed from, and is that the same as SysInfo, which I think it the one I normally see on screenshots with a GUI showing a graph near the bottom-left corner showing the system's performance compared with other system configurations?

Aminet, something like sspeed26, it's much more comprehensive.
