What benchmark software should I use?

[Gomer]

I want to benchmark my new system. What program should I use.

System is an 1800+ with a Geforce 2 running XP.

I am on dialup so the smaller the DL the better. Something that won't thrash my OS would be good as well.

SiSoft Sandra does a very good job with overall system benches, testing all areas of the system and showing comparable results, but it isnt a very 56k friendly dl.

scratch that. it is only 1.93 Mb

http://www.3bsoftware.com/downloads/sandra.html

you can get the trial version there.

3DMark2001 SE is what we all use
But it's 39.8MB, gotta leave your comp for a few hours at night

SiSoft is the best prolly for a full suite of benching utils. 3DMark is excellent for graphics benching which IMO is really the only important thing
