[H] Simple Windows benchmark software

2007-07-11 Thread Thane Sherrington
Does anyone know of a simple piece of Windows software (or a procedure I could write a script to do) that would test the speed of a computer. I get a ton of computers in that are running slowly and I'd like to be able to take a before and after snapshot to see if they have sped up. T

I don't know that any true benchmark software is going to provide significantly valid results. A good deal of the slowness users report is as a result of concurrent software (legitimate and spy/adware) running in the background. Your standard benchmark application will run its battery of tests at

Why not just log the % of idle time usage or something like that? Most of the snappiness of cleaned or freshly installed windows is lack of extra processes no fragmentation which quickly fades after install software that adds support DLL's or processes. Thane Sherrington wrote: At 12:17 PM

IIRC, just about any version of Mac OS should support reading/writing FAT floppies. if it's REALLY old you might have a problem with FAT32 though? If it's ~10 years old and has a floppy, I guess it doesn't have USB? Could always use a thumdrive if it does. Scott On Jul 11, 2007, at 8:36
