I am contenplating buying a laptop and /or upgrade my desktop PC.

For comparison purposes in terms of gaming I'd like to be able to run benchmarks like:

UT2003 FlyBy
Serious Sam: Second Encounter
Jedi Knight 2

I don't have these games.
Is there a way to download these benchmarks or are they just games running while monitoring fps?

thanks in advance for posting

The UT2003 demo has the benchmark utility in it.

Havent checked into the others.

i see your running 98 did you may not know the .vxd screw up
this is a link for the 98se vxds
www.sci-www.net/Support/win98se.htm
also i love cacheman www.outertech.com dont enable the disk cache if you run a hd utility ie perf test the benches are better without it run everything else moderately high see results

I DL'd the SiSandra <as per the *browser* test via the link above>

When I hit the shortcut from my desktop, I get an error.

**Could not initialise Database! Make sure file is ok; instal latest MDAC**

From there, if I hit the OK button, it takes me to the SiSandra program. I get a second error;

**Tips not enabled or not found!**

Then all "seems" to work. But I am new to all this. I dont know if it works, or its just running loops.

I did a few test runs, but like I said, I'm not sure if it is actually doing anything. I dont see any info that I understand or pertaining to benchmark scores.

Help please.

Thx.


{EDIT} This is where/what I downloaded <from the SiSandra link in first post here>

Sandra Standard 2003 9.31 [MD5: 04d8d45ac7b61d1af5e4fd0cf2f2f118] [December 2002] [New!]
