PC Benchmark Software

[++MadMatt++]

What is the best recognised benchmarking software. I have downloaded 3dmark06 and PcMark Vantage, but obviously they only allow you to test certain things for free. Is this the best software to buy or are there better?

ive had no issue with 3dmark06 but you may need tto look into getting CPU-Z, realtemp and prime 95. CPU-z gives useful information abot your clocking settings, realtemp shows temps in real time your highest and lowest as well. prime 95 is a good stability tester for the CPU. Mainly 3dmark6 is used when clocking graphics cards
