What do you use to rate your computers performance vs others.... If you will add yours plus links I will add them to my post here.

Benchmarking
SandraSoft 2009 from SiSoftware
Furmark - quick graphics benchmark, and it's a donut. A furry donut.

Burn-In
GeoForms - Graphics Card Heater-Upper
Prime95 v2.9 - one of the best stability checks available.

Testing
memtest86+ - note: if your machine won't boot your iso floppy, you might have to update the CD/DVD drive's firmware. Especially true for Sony OptiArc.

That's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there's more. All of these have free versions available on the web.

I also use Far Cry 2's benchmark app for extensive graphics benchmarking, since it's scriptable and repeatable.

Lets get the first post updated and I'll make this a sticky too. By the way, we host some of that software in our download section. Why not link it?

was looking up the licensing agreements before then... but I will if your fine with it.
not in doubt about what you already have... but looking up cinebench and the game ones...

[dekard]

I know we've gotten permission from everyone who's in the DL section. But I've never looked at cinebench and the game benchies. If they are pm me a link to the files and I'll get them added to the dl section and let you know.

If I can figure out how to make time demos maybe we can even have our own in house benches

[dekard]

Timedemos, now there's a new idea.

ATTO disk benchmark... a few sites have used these and mention its really hard to find... then they don't respond on how to find it on their forums....grr...anyhow found it... it does read and write separately and lots of different tests.

my thread got locked btw....

I still want to figure out timedemoes...

[Patriot]

bump... I think timedemoes with an OCW in the corner would be awesome... if anyone wants to help me figure this out....
