Break it in a little...
Are brand new computers some-what like cars in the sense that one should not run a brand new computer hard in its first couple days of processing?

Nope.
 If you do some research on Google about it you'll probably get a lot of references to "burning in" CPU's and RAM. This is to do with overclocking and really doesn't affect most people

On the contrary, I would suggest using it normally or even to a certain extent running it under a load (gaming, calculating PI... benchmarking) to test stability and make sure nothing goes wrong like lock ups or anything after long periods of 100% CPU usage. I don't think this is necessary, use it like you normally would and you will "break it in" enough.

run it normally to let the chip work a bit before pushing it over.
