I'm *still* very fond of the BYTE-Benchmark, since it really does give you an overall "Average" of your _whole_ system-performance. It doesn't bench a single thing, but a quite different bundle, which is nice. The included disk-benches wouldn't complain about disk-arrays. :-) YES, it still leaves out things like network-performance and the X11-perf of your system, but you get an impression, how fast it really *seems* to be in average. - That's at least what you will receive, when you sit at your machine as user. - That's the real life! :-) So this Benchmark tells me more than a lot of sole-purpose-BMs. :( Regards, Herbert __________________________________________________________________________ Herbert Wengatz,82049 Pullach |Disclaim: This Mail is my own opinion, Office :hwe@uebemc.siemens.de |not that of my company. *** Private:hwe@rtfact.muc.de | oo-) http://www.muc.de/~hwe/rtfact (new & improved !!!!!!) m_/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Support Randal L.
