So, now we know that the immediate future of application benchmarking should reside in the ability to accurately test and measure performance of systems in a multitasking environment. Unfortunately that is easier said than done.
Most of our current benchmarks use a single application, run a script of some kind, and report back a result based on the time it took to complete the task. Running multiple applications and doing multiple things at the same time requires a direct involvement from the one running the benchmarks, meaning more of a chance of human error and variability in general. How can we address this? My multitasking testing setup, in its first iteration, uses the following applications in various ways:.
This setup is a general subset of what applications I find myself running the majority of the time in my work environment. Pinging some of our forum mods and some of my friends that use their PCs frequently, this is also pretty close to the number of applications and types of applications that they run.
Certainly many of you are users that have more applications running at any given time, just like I am sure many of our readers are very particular about having as few apps running as possible. In order to give some quantifiable measure of performance on a multitasking machine, at least one specific application needed to be running on a timer based function.
To me, it made the most sense for that program to be Razor Lame MP3 Encoder, encoding some WAVs into MP3 files; this application keeps a log of how long a specific task takes and we could vary the amount of applications running in the background to get differing levels of multitasking performance. To that extent, I set up three distinct multitasking performance scenarios. I consider this to be the heavy multitasking scenario that uses nearly all of the applications listed above in some fashion.
Here is a complete step by step of my application start up process:. Keeping Acrobat at least partly visible forced the system to continue processing the data in the file. After completing the above tests, I decided to add one more application into the suite by including Outlook importing an email file into its database. Here is the modified step by step:. I would consider this to be a light multitasking environment with only the bare minimum applications running in the background.
In this test NAV was not doing a virus scan, but was enabled doing its standard monitoring. The third and last scenario on this test was based around someone gaming on their machine. While you may not have Norton do a scan on purpose while you are gaming, many times I have had NAV start doing one based on its schedule while I have been doing other things, so I felt it appropriate for a worst case scenario.
The results this time were based around the average frame rate reported by the Doom 3 in-game time demos. Each scenario was tested three times, with the scores averaged. I hate this! My single core AMD is much much better than this. If You still have problems and need someone to walk You through any settings changes,..
May 4, ? Why would you May 4, ? Why would you upgrade to Pentium D this year? Those overclock to 3GHz easily. Nobody buys these inferior processors except out of morbid curiosity.

The Pentium D microprocessors were manufactured in land LGA package, and they were usually compatible with existing socket motherboards. The Core 2 Duo, Pentium 4, and the Pentium D are all intended for direct installation on this chipset.
Pentium Dual-Core E is very similar to the slowest member of Core 2 Duo family, Core 2 Duo E processors run at the same core and FSB frequency, have the same size of level 1 caches, and include pretty much the same core features.
