[QUOTE=keithlm;3543819]To do it scientifically we need to list the various different types of resources. Then we need to identify applications that would stress each one of these various systems.

After we know those things we can then systematically run these things one at a time WITH some other particular benchmark.

EXAMPLES:
1. Run benchmark.
2. Run benchmark with 4xPrime95.
3. Run benchmark with Virus scan or defrag.
4. Run benchmark while compressing.
5. Run benchmark while encoding.
<you get the idea... add more to the list as needed>



i wud suggest this one instead:
1. game1 benchmark.
2. game1 benchmark with game2
3. game1 benchmark with game2 and game3
4. game1 benchmark with game2 and game3 and game4 ....

rinse and repeat.
1. game2 benchmark
2. game2 benchmark with game1...etc etc.

more fun
