That's an interesting idea, but this is in a login script, so I can't exactly run benchmarks while logging in as the users will get impatient quite quickly. They already think the scripts take too long as it is. While this information may be unreliable, it is desired by my boss for the express purpose of budgeting upgrades in our organization. Thanks!
