I find it strange there isn't a sticky with links to all the different benchmarks out there (that don't suck), so I figured I would ask.
I basically want to do some benchmarks on my current crappy Pentium 2.4 system and on my new core 2 duo and compare how large of a leap it was using more than just superpi and game benchmarks...even if it means using fairly uncommon benchmarks.
So I thought it would be fun to just find a crapload of 3d and calculation benchmarks and see what happens.
Can you guys list of the benchmarks that you find to be the best, coolest, or just plain favorite? addresses to the sites aren't necessary......unless you really want to. Maybe we can get a sticky out of this when its all said and done.
And these are benchmarks ran in windows xp 32 and 64 (if supported)
edit: Major posted a link in the benchmarking forum but after everyone complained of spyware from that site invading their comps I refuse to go to it.
