Comment: Hi, I want to try different tweaks to my computer to improve its performance. There are a number of things I want to try. However, I don't want to just take other people's word that the tweaks will improve performance, I want some objective means of verifying that. What programs do you use to analyze whether changes you are making to your system are having the desired effect? Phil

Reply: (edit)There are a lot of benchmark programs out there that do exactly that!
For graphic/game performance I suggest 3DMark 2000 from Futuremark (fromer Madonion) because it's old enough to support your hardware. If you run in trouble with this there's also a 3DMark 99 version.
And SiSoft's Sandra is also a nice program for all sorts of system information!
