If among car owners decided to discuss fuel consumption, the maximum vehicle speed, fast acceleration, it is no less interesting to listen to the users of personal computers, will test the performance of your computer.Such testing - is an effective opportunity not only to compare who is better and faster computer, but you can select when buying the most efficient models.Before we look in detail at how an evaluation of computer performance, we note that the function is estimated on the results it is influenced by many factors.For example, totals to a large extent (in fact, a decisive) influence the BIOS settings, the presence of acceleration components, versions of installed drivers, even room service pack (SP) of the operating system.
How can you compare the performance of two computers?For this there are special test programs that load the components of formulaic calculation.As a result, it is given a specific numerical value, based on which one can judge the performance of a component.For example, to test the RAM, CPU and hard drive, you can use the application SiSoft Sandra.But to estimate the speed of the graphics card allows you to program 3D Mark.They give fairly accurate results, but, unfortunately, is not at all.Microsoft, feeling the need for a universal tool for tests in their operating systems, Vista and Windows 7 has implemented a software solution.Actually, it is called - "assessment of performance of the computer."Although the accuracy of this test gives a specialized, however, many of them successfully used.The reason is obvious - such an evaluation computer is always "at hand".
Run the test is very simple: you need to right-click to call the properties of "My Computer."In the window is visible active link - "Index Windows», and next digit.This is the rating of the performance of your computer.It is recommended that all the same test again by clicking on the link.Evaluation of computer performance is as follows: click on the link mentioned in the window, select "Repeat assessment" and wait.Important: The computer does not have to be loaded with work.No movies, music, Internet and so on. Test the main internal components, in front of which will appear in the list of values assessment.The lowest value - 1.0, and the highest - 7.9.Accordingly, it is easy to determine which component requires replacement.The higher the score, the more comfortable working with a computer.The final result is equal to the minimum.It is impossible to say what should be the assessment of the performance of the computer because it is dependent on the range of tasks.For example, if the computer is used as a substitute for a typewriter, even 1.0 may be more than enough (if the shutdown of most graphics capabilities), but for those who like to shoot in the game Monster unwary minimum score should not be lower than 5.5.
Although the built-in benchmark is fairly limited, sometimes leading notebook manufacturers its value for each model sold.In part, this allows approximately but quickly determine the class of computer - office, home, or a universal kind of gamer.
again pay attention that the primary test is performed automatically when you install the operating system to install the drivers chipset controllers and video cards.So often displayed scores is untrue and to obtain real values should be independently retest.
