It all comes down to the main components of a PC, CPU power (most new systems today have way more then will ever be needed by most users in any productivity app), RAM (Pretty cheap these days to add as much as you need) and Hard disk throughput/access time (continually getting faster)..

usage. Maybe the case is that there isn't still anything.
Please read previous posts. I need to benchmark 'normal desktop usage', that in such case could be disk I/O, graphic adapter performance and cpu load, all in normal conditions - that is somehow simulating a normal desktop usage (spreadsheet, writing, surfing, emailing, doing a little of graphic stuff).
It is *all* in previous posts.
Are you comparing OS's or Hardware or Applications??
What are you trying to test and what is the result you need to produce??
Who asked you to do the tests and what information are they needing to make whatever decision will be based on the tests??
You haven't really given enogh information as to what result you are trying to get to and so the answers you are getting back are consequently of no use to you..
Later..
