Is there a benchmark/analysis program free of spyware?

[jsxynn]

I've got a 1.3 Celeron (Tualatin) with an ATI 9600 vidcard, my 3dmark3 score is only ~500, but I've noticed that when I play DiabloII on my older computer with the same processer, but a much older ati card, (3dmark3 score = ~60) it handles complex video activity much better than the new setup. I've noticed also that my cd player seems to run much more than it does on the old system.

I went looking here for a benchmark/analysis program, but after following links like this one, in this forum...

here is a great place to do a system check. they even have a forum for discussing your results. i have used it for about 2yrs. it is great. http://www.pcpitstop.com/

I find that it is blatant spyware (at least they admit that "Tribal Fusion did it....."

Sure you can "try" to remove the spyware, but...oh how interesting....there it is again...!

So...a few questions for those who know

Is there a reliable free (or if "nothing is ever free" at least inexpensive) benchmark/system analysis program out there?

Also my VTT voltage is 1.21-1.23 it is suppposed to be 1.50, this is on a Soyo Tisu mobo. Is this a mobo problem, or a power supply problem. (It is a new raidmax 350w power supply and case).

Thank you
Stef

Not me - I just rememembered it since I built a new rig this month and had to search for it . . . I wish i had something to actually do with the creation of that (awesome) thread.

Anyway, it was "stickied" in CPU-O/C'ing for a long time - best of all, it is recently UPdated.

Have you checked and made sure you have the latest drivers for everything? Sometimes installing the latest motherboard chipset drivers speeds thing up a bit. Also un-install your current ATI drivers and install the latest Catalyst package.
