Win2000 & Sisoft Sandra

[Rich3077]

Sanrda keeps freezing up on me on the splash screen. At first I thought it was because of my buggy video card drivers untill I saw this at the website

Lockup on splash screen on Windows 2000/NT - If you're using more than 100 device drivers. No fix - wait for the patch.

I would really like to do some Sandra benchmarks... so does anybody know how to shut some device drivers down so I can try it again?

NFS4 is using black magic !!!

Well if we do ,spesialy the Motherboard module needs something like more than black magic so to actualy work with out to freez the computer totaly ...

SiSandra works no problem for me in 2k, Abit KA7, voodoo3.

 

[MCS]

Works OK for me, however some of the modules dont show as much info as in Win98 - in fact the Mainboard Information is nearly blank!

I was under the 'misimpression' it didn't work in Win2K but just downloaded/installed after reading this thread. It mentioned 'limited functionality' under Win2K and zero support for SMP but all the tests I ran (cpu, multimedia, memory, hard disk etc.) ran just fine.

What filesystems are you guys using with Win2K & Sandra? I'm wondering if that can make a difference.

Since Sandra doesn't support NT, it's perfectly normal that it doesn't work on W2K. I guess if you use NTFS and not FAT it makes it even worst. SiSoft is going to release some new app called Samantha, which suppose to be NT version of Sandra.

Cheers,

FAT32, however i have run it on NTFS volumes before.

 

[xtreme2k]
