The main bootMark test, created by Symantec, evaluates subsystem performanceΓÇöin particular, the ability of your CPU,memory, PCIset,and motherboard to work as a finely tuned overclocking, the bootMark's a great way to see how much more speed you've squeezed out of your system.
INSTALLATION: Installation is pretty straightforward. It doesn't create a Programs group so it will need to be launched from the Start Menu under Norton System Information.
NOTE: If you already have Norton System Doctor installed, you already have System Information and don't need to install the bootMarks.
INSTRUCTIONS: Fire up the program by starting the System Information program found inside the Norton System Information folder. Click on the Benchmark button at the bottom and step back for a second or two. Take a gander at "Your System" on the right-hand side and record. You may want to re-run the benchmark a few times, and get the average score that occurs. The higher the number, the better.
THE RANGE: 35 should be a minimum score for most P200 MMX machines, with 50 being the average. If you score past 65, you've got some sizzling hot hardware.
