which benchmarking tools do you use? where can i get fritz?

[Clark the White]

Hi folks, I will be building a new sandybridge system next week and upgrading from a 4200 x 2 939 athlon with 2gb ram winxp 32bit etc

at the moment I'm looking to benchmark this piece of junk to the max so I can laugh while rubbing my hands together at the enormous performance boost.

I am using some of the installed games I have such as metro 2033, Doom 3, RE 5, Arkham Asylum. I would do Crysis but I have not downloaded it yet from steam (although it's in my games list)

which other benchmarks do you all use? I am downloading Cinebench at the moment. I have been told about fritz but when I google it and get various links to download it in various forums, none of the links work! can anyone send me a working link?

also which version of 3dmark do you all use?

and lastly when i asked for a spec check for my build in the general hardware thread, some people asked me to post the benches, so which is the best/correct forum to post benchmarks in? should I post them in this forum or start a new thread in general hardware, or revive my post in GH with them at the bottom?

thanks for any replies
