I'm looking for a good burn-in program. I don't have the computer connected to the net, otherwise I'd run seti or fold.

One that displays the temp of various stuff at the same time would be nice also.
 
Well i dunno how you are gonna get it if its not connected to the net but

Super Pi
Prime 95

Multiple Instances... running at the same time.... For say 24 hours will make sure you comp is stable and burned in

F@H is probably the best but not available. Also loop memtest to make sure you are covered there as well.
 
SiSoft Sandra has a burn-in option that will loop a benchmark test any number of times you specify, and will display temperatures and whatnot with each pass. You can even set it to terminate the tests if the temperatures reach a certain point.

It sounds like it's what you're looking for.

Here's a link. You can get Details on the professional/enterprise versions, or you can Download the lite version, which is free, and still has the feature I mentioned.
 
if you're looking for a good burn in program for the CPU, then i'd recommened prime 95

make sure you loop it for several hours if not for a complete day. I learned this the hard way. I had phantom problem in my box a while back that I was trying to track down using memtest (pretty positive it was memory related). The first time through, no errors, second time, nothing... 65th time through, metric shitload of errors.
 
memtest and prime95 for 24 hours, no errors on either

super pi, cpu burn, and 3dmark can also be useful
