There are some programs to load your CPU's. I believe they are called
BurnP6 and BurnBX.
They are made by a member of this list, I can't recall the name. Search
freshmeat.net for these programs.

Fantastic!!!! Nothing less than fantastic!!!
Yesterday I soldered a 1000 uF in parallel with the original EC10 (100 uF).
And that really did the trick!!!!
Now my ABIT BP6 v. 1.1 works perfectly. I have installed Mandrake 7.1 with
no problems at all. Before the installation would freeze in the middle
(oddly enough, most frequently exactly during installation of "less".
Before the graphics was kind of fuzzy - like snow around vertical edges. Now
the snow has disappeared. Well, maybe a little bit remains, I think I will
try with 1500 uF or 2200 uF.
My VTT now lies at 5,0 - 5,2 V. Before it was 4,4 - 6,4 V.
Thank you very much Geoff!!!
This weekend I will perform some stability tests. Anyone who has
suggestions?? I will of cause make some kernel compilations and the CPU
Burn.
