Click the "How does this system peform" link.

The Alienware machine performed at 136% compared to my 100%. Thats not to worrying because they have a P4 3.2 and I have a P4 3.0, I also built my PC at half the price of the alienware one .

Mine is 100% its 270%

It's using 3dmark, so in my books means about as much as there prices.

Edit: 110% with Dreamweaver/Fireworks etc open

The Performance Analyzer uses an ActiveX control that currently requires Internet Explorer 5 or later on a Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 or XP platform.

Sod that then

Oh look, theres Mr Positive with his usual cynical comments

Take it for what it is, it may not be accurate but it gives some kind of idea as it will not be "accurate" for anyone else either.

You what's the funniest thing. Go to a system that is alot slower then your current rig and then do the performance check.



gotta love stupid marketing ploys
