Hi there, I am looking for a good system bench marking tool, not to find out just how killer my systems are or anything like that but rather to seek out any bottlenecks, ie is the processor holding me back or is it actually a slow hard drive or video card, or whatever. The thought is that I have that most upgrading is just estimation on what we guess will speed our systems up. I just bought a new video card [anyone want a GeForce 2MX? I have one for sale] and am in the processor of buying a new G4 [anyone want a G4 7410 466? I am probably selling mine shortly], but I find myself wondering, should I invest in an UW160 SCSI card and drives? Or will I see no performance change from my current ATA/66 drives? I realize that perceived performance depends on what you are doing and such but I just want to have a raw number look at it ... so - what are some good ways to benchmark system components? I am running both PCI Macs with 9.1 and [primarily] G3s and G4s with Mac OS X [my main interest in the second group].
