testing computer

Anybody know a good program that tests how fast your computer is running? I've been trying to tweak it and I want to see if the stuff I'm doing helps or hurts.

Thanks

they get up to about 150 mph when you throw them out a tall building...

wow. Now, what building do you suggest? Sears Tower is taller than empire state building, but it's not straight down. Or how about airplane? That'd probably make it go fast :).

actually, it wouldn't make any difference after about 15 floors...

Ike Newton taught me that...

nali- there was a link a while back that tested the connection speed, but i am not sure thats what you want.

ok, enough of that. I really need some kinda program like that. And I don't know what to even type in yahoo to look for one.

use the sisoft sandra standard: http://www.sisoftware.net/ I think there's a trial version.

Thanks lava. Which one of those benchmarks would be best to use though? There's so many :).

1) memory
2) cpu multi-media
3) cpu arithmetic?
4) cache & memory

cpu arithmetic..
