Benchmarking and stress testing

Dempsey · 2006-11-19 23:25:30

I'm looking to benchmark my new rig and stress test my new rig but I haven't been keeping up with things. What is the best program for benchmark CPU, HDD, GFX and what program is used to stress test dual core chips? Cheers.

Orthos Beta for dual core chips. Ati tool for gfx with loops of Futuremark 2006 for overall performance.

SiS Sandra for benchmarking.

You've also got super_pi for testing your performance increase

also memtest for testing your ram. I have a load more but the're for A64, which is no use to you, nice rig btw

I might buy a magazine with those futuremark tools on a dvd cos they are very big downloads. Waste of my bandwidth
