Benchmark results

[Cali]

I see alot of ppl talking about "their benchmarks" on there computer. They never mention what test they ran or the link. I have never ran a benchmark test and was hoping you guys could help me.

What tests should i run or if you could shoot me a link? I tried to google it but i had no idea what i was searching for so i need you'r guys help.

3) Cinebench, totally processor based

There are a myriad of different benchmarks out there to run. The most popular in no particular order would probably be:

3DMark06

3DMark05

3DMark03

3DMark01

Aquamark

SuperPi

Futuremark.com (makers of 3DMark) have a database full of different setups that you can compare your rig to if you so choose, including the current world records.

Edit: Doh. ^ beat me to it.
