I worked in the qualification department for a large memory company around y2k. We ran thousands of computers with samples of all our memory so we could spot issues early. One of our best tests was running Quake in a pre-recorded speed run mode. It could run through in about a minute or so. It torched the CPU and memory and was great at seeing if a system was going to have issues. =)
