What do you use to benchmark the machines? Mind you we just did a refresh to the desktops / laptops here All of them are at minimum Dual or Quad Core CPU's 3GB memory and 7200 RPM drives, that's what boggles me J

When a user says "it takes x longer to log on than it used to", I have actual physical data that proves it is quicker.

Most times, I take a look at the Four major's CPU, Mem, HD, Network, I look at their event viewer, OS and Application patch levels, and what they're doing at the time of the complaint A lot of the times though I think most of these complaints are subjective to what a user perceives as slow, there never is a magic number you can refer to and say hey you're at 11 and that's slow let me bring you down to a 5 and speed you up. Suggestions? Thx!
