Hey everybody this is my first post even though ive been viewing this community for quite some time now. Alot of knowledge floating around, so I'm going to see if i can acquire some. Anyway i was planning on running a benchmarking application on about 12 computers that i have to see how they are all running. Do you guys have any suggestions on the best/affordable program that i could use on several computers? Or even whats best to look for when searching for the software. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank ya'll in advance.

classical measures for applications are:

1. Virtual Memory usage
2. paging activing
3. HD I/O (r+w)
4. Networking activity

It depends on what they are built for, in my opinion. If they are for Gaming, then something like 3dmark would be needed. If they are CAD/ rigs, then you'd want a type of processor benchmarking, or maybe Render a LARGELY detailed scene and test how fast they do it.

For Graphics = 3DMark06 / Aquamark

For Processor = SuperPi

For Everything Else = SiSoftware Sandra XII
