Are there any products that benchmark windows running on various systems? A co-worker & I both have the same machine type/options, but his is noticeably faster ... On a related note ... I have occasionally noticed the system slow down while running windows (screen-peace's maze looks like it's running on an 8088 instead of a 80386!) ... most noticeable when w4w is in full screen ... thanks leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr

They're on quite a few of the San Diego BBSes, so they've probably made their way to your area. They do a _very_ thorough test of Windows 3 speed.

I found them last night on cica ... tried to run them today ... boy is it excruciatingly slow ! ... unfortunately it has no way (that I saw) to interrupt the test in progress (so that I could return to real work :-) ). I'll probably run it over the weekend while I am not here ... leoh@hdw.csd.harris.com Leo Hinds (305)973-5229 Gfx ... gfx ... :-) whfg orpnhfr V "ebg"grq zl fvtangher svyr lbh guvax V nz n creireg ?!!!!!!? ... znlor arkg gvzr

The benchmark program is also on the FTP archive site cica.cica.indiana.com in the pub/pc/win3/util directory. The file is benchg11.zip, and is 107909 bytes long. This zip contains the PC Mag benchmarks for both Windows and OS/2 Presentation Manager. -- Tim Forsyth, Intel Corp., Desktop Computer Division, Hillsboro, Oregon, USA Internet: tim@int13.intel.com or Tim_Forsyth@ccm.hf.intel.com CompuServe: 74040,2712 (checked once a week)
