Default test old hardware

I am a software wonk; the hardware works,
doesn't it? I have an oldish box with an
ASUS motherboard, 80G hard drive, 1G ram.
I have Win2k on it and there have been few
problems until recently. I now see assorted
problems, especially when booting, that may
be hardware problems.

I intend to wipe the hard drive, and install
WinXP, but I would first like to test the
hardware. Can someone please recommend
test programs? Note, there is nothing on it
I expect to save.

Thanks,
Mike.
