Sisoft Sandra Benchmark Questions

[Nessism]

When running the Sandra Memory benchmark test my system scores increase each trial until about the forth trial and then the scores stabilize. It seems to me that the stabilized score is the comparable one. Which score so you guys report?

Do a fresh boot, shut down any extraneous applications/processes, make any chipset register alterations you want to test (e.g. with WPCRedit), run Sandra. That's your score. I also find that repeating some tests improves performance but I believe that the fresh boot score is the true test. You never know whether some info is being cached in subsequent runs, artificially inflating your score. I find this with 3DMark 2000 as well.
