Same reason as above. Good for information viewing.
Realtemp
Great for temperature viewing. Coretemp is another option.

I make sure that the system has sufficient stability for a 4 hour stress run.
3DMark 06
To make sure my current setup meets the expectations and to view how it performs versus similar systems
HDtach
Good tool to make sure your HDD is running to spec

Basically every benchmark imaginable, so why not? |
I use most these however, Memtest is the 1st one I use before I even install an OS.
