Wanted: Good, Free Basic System Benchmarks Program

I've ended up with too many computers (thanks Hot Deals). Anyway, I need to do some basic benchmarking in order to decide what to keep and what to sell.

Thank you.
 
depends on what kind of uses you have for the computer.

If you want to test the 3d capabilities, try:

3dmark2001
3dmark2003
3dmark2005
3dmark2006
Aquamark

Thanks, I'll keep those in mind for 3D. How about just to kind of check the overall systems against one another. Like to be able to say my computer is faster than yours.

I'd use super pi if I wanted to test cpu speed.

Why those? That site looks really amateur and the one program is still in Beta. I don't have a good feeling about downloading/installing those. Can anyone vouch for these programs and say if they're any good?

You did say free, and free programs are not usually as as advanced as is available otherwise. But HD Tach 3 is a good program. The only others that come to mind are Sandra Lite and Everest, but I don't think that Everest is available free any longer.


 
Use hdtach, linked to in the third post, to benchmark your hard disks. It gives you average seek times, str, cpu utilization, etc. The really handy feature is that you can compare your results to a bunch of different set-ups and the results they submitted.
