Benchmarking

[Boyo]

I would like to purchase a benchmarking program but I am unsure of which one to get. For instance 3DMark06 I have heard is mostly for your GPU. I would like to buy a benchmark program that will give me an overall result for my rig. Any suggestions on which is best? My rig is in my sig.

SiSandra - there is a free version
PCMark

There are too many free ones to ever think about paying for it....

ATTO = test Harddrives
PCmark = whole system
3Dmark = graphics /cpu and memory subsystem
SiSandra = various benchmarks to test everything
Sciencemark = cpu power
Superpi = cpu/memory subsystem
Cinebench 9.5= cpu/ memory/ graphics system

This place about has them all....Many have free versions with pro versions built into them that are activated upon purchase...unless you are professional reviewer you dont need this
