Benchmark

[Blue_Gundam2002]

What are good benchmarking programs for cpu, vid card, memory, and over all system performance?

I find that for overall system benchmarking, Sisoftware Sandra is the best. For your vid card, you can use Aquamark 2003, 3dmark2001, and 3dmark03. I think that those are the three 'main' ones used, in terms of comparing scores of systems over the internet and such.

Head over to the Futuremark (http://www.futuremark.com/download/) site and get PCMark04 and 3DMark04. PCMark will bench your CPU, RAM, etc., while 3DMark will do your Video Card.
