i'm prettysure the "burn-in" theory has been debunked. it doesn't do anything good to the chip. (although it may help thin the thermal paste).
sorry no dos utilities i know of, but i'm sure they exist.
oh well, i guess i had a 0 help factor

burnk7.exe
Or run the F@H Client for a day or so set to use 100% of the availible CPU.

I ran my current CPU at stock speed (1.47 GHz) for a week with SETI@Home and divx encoding taking 100%. I ended up with a maximum overclock of 77.2% (1,135 MHz over default for 2605.9 MHz).

The
Ultimate Boot CD has lots of useful utilities.

Get SiSoft Sandra ... it has an excellent burn-in tool and many other excellent utilities.
