CPU testing

Two utilities mentioned to me recently to use to test CPU performance and becnhmark - especially if trying to assess the value in overclocking, are HotCPU and Prime 95.

Hot CPU provides a range of diagnostic and status reporting tools along with burn in and stress tests and allows you to benchmark your CPU.
Prime 95 is actually a mathematical tool looking for Mersenne Prime numbers. However it has a stress testing component and the ability to benchmark also.
