Building the world is a great test of hardware. Once you've done that, you could build all the packages, another test which has proven to me that hardware I thought was good, was bad. On my 1.7G package builder it takes about 74 hours to build them all, and all of OpenBSD takes about 2:20. You might have to do that several times depending on the speed of your processor. I've never done a package build on an mp system so I don't know the details of that, but I can't imagine that isn't a good test. --STeve Andre'
