hi there, i was wondering if there is a test to run to see how quick my computer actally is in real terms. ive seen that a lot of comparisons are done by running a demo in cettain games i think, but i dont have a clue how to do any of this, and what the results would mean, could someone please explain how to do this. also i am thinking of getting a new graphics card and some ram, so ide like to be able to compare the figures of b4 and after the upgrade. many many thanks bob

That program tests all your components and gives you a score, and tells you how your computer is doing comparing to all teh people tha tran it.

Personally i find most of this a waste of time unless you are looking for a problem area in a computer that should be fast but is not.
