I know that a lot of you are into building and overclocking "performance PC's", so can anyone recommend the best benchmarking software, so I can judge how a new PC is performing, (cpu speed, I/O, etc)?

 

i hear fresh diagonose is good , ive just installed it but not had a look at it yet

 

sisoftsandra and 3dmark2001se

 

Thanks

 

3d benchmark and futuremark are done by the same company. futuremark is their latest version but it only really works with 128mb gfx cards other wise it skips some of the tests and you'll end up with a low score
