Dacris Software has released XMark 7.0 alpha 2. Slated for a beta release in July, 2003, the upcoming XMark 7.0, also known as "Carleton", is a highly comprehensive distributed system benchmarking and optimization suite. Version 7.0 continues to use Microsoft .NET, like its predecessor, XMark.NET 2002. However, major changes to the core of the program have been made, mainly to make it run faster, be more responsive, more flexible, more stable, and definitely use fewer system resources. XMark 7.0 supports plugins to extend virtually any function of the program.

advertisment .... ?

well, i still tried it ...
got only lots of exceptions and such errors ....

i wouldnt say it's worth trying ...

No point in using benchmarks from any source other than 3DMark, or some other equally reputable source. Benchmarks are kind of pointless as it is. Using a lesser known source wouldn't be logical. Redundant actually.

I'd need something I can compare others to.

Thanks but I'll pass.
