I only know about memtest86.

http://www.memtest86.com/

I still haven't put in a floppy drive in my PC yet so I can't run it, but I'm wondering what other programs do the same thing but not just for memory? I remember a pretty popular one for graphics but forgot the name. I have no idea about anything for other parts like CPU/Hard Drives though…

Can someone at least tell me the name of that graphics card program? It plays some demos and gives you a score...

For hard drives, just go to your manufacturer's website.
Each company has a boot disk or boot cd that you can download
that tests out their drives. They typically want you to run the
tests before you try to get a warranty return.

For graphics options / quality / performance

3DMark, aquamark. Available at http://www.futuremark.com and http://www.aquamark.com

For Memory, MemTest86, and Microsoft Memory Test. Google memtest86, or www.majorgeeks.com/download3955.html

For HDD - use DFT http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm For lack of a floppy, burn it to CD with floppy emulation.

I haven't used it recently, and I have no idea if it's made anymore, or what state it's at today, but Sisoft's Sandra utility can run a wide variety of tests on your machine...

well, 3Dmark give almost all the wieght of it's score to the videocard. the 6600GT, though a good card is still a midrange card that score looks to be about right

Are you sure all your MB chipset & video drivers are up to date? AGP 8x enabled?
Try enabling "performance" settings in the BIOS, if applicable. Just some suggestions.
