Stress Test on Old Machine

[Nasty7]

I installed Kubuntu to this old machine, how can I stress test it so that I know it will not crash?

I normally take the logical approach and just open a bunch of stuff and watch the system monitor. Always with one youtube video open also. I know it needs more RAM but this will likely go up for sale to avoid being recycled so don't want to waste any extra RAM I have laying around.

I already installed the Nvidia drivers: 340.107 and updated everything.

Hi
thanks for the information.
I used to do a LOT of installs on old machines but haven't lately.
Looks like you know what you are doing and approach it logically.
Anytime you want to post other information there ARE folks out there who DO run stuff on older machines and Kubu does fine on them.

Yeah, wanted folks to know you don't need the best newest machine to run Kubuntu! Video isn't the best but still not to bad.
