PC Performance

[emenzhaowork]

Greetings,

I just bought a new workstation and installed XP Professional SP2. I am
trying to find a way to measure its performance. Anyone out there has
any idea on how to do this? Or is there an application that can be used
to test pc performance?

Thanks in advance for your help!

May I ask why?

The best way to test performance - in my opinion - is to utilze the machine
in the way you plan on doing so for the rest of its days with you. Try to
give it the 'heaviest' version of whatever you will be utilizing it for and
determine from that what you need to help it along.

Maybe you will be reading/writing lots of data - so the fastest
drive/controller and a large amount of memory.
Maybe you will be playing games - so lots of memory and a really nice video
card.
Maybe you will be crunching numbers - equations, etc - so lots of processor
power.

After many years assembling, selling, repairing, tweaking, distributing and
using computers - I find that you either tweak it for your own purposes - or
just buy the best of everything and know you have done this. heh

Measure its performance compared to what? Just use it, that will
determine if it is "fast enough" for what you want it to do.
