How to check speed of computer?

[rakeshsehrawat]

Dear friends
in 2001 i bought P3 1.1Ghz with 128 Mb. RAM and 40 GB harddisk 5200 RPM (IDE) which i sold out after college and bought AMD 4800 with 1 GB RAM SATA hard disk 250 GB

I think my earlier computer was faster then this as in that computer i use to copy several items togeather and time of copying hardly differs with number of copies started togeather.
In this computer i started to copy a file and when i picked another file to copy time of copying changed from 15 secs. to 17 minutes.

How can we say that new computers are faster? how can we measure their speed?

Norton to katya hoya bhi na load karu

koye virus nahi hai bhai

[ajayverma1973]

Norton purchase kiya tha ya phir pirated, coz pirated doesn't detect or clean viruses.

I tried both and found Norton totally Useless

Rakesh ji yeh problem jyadatar assembled computers me hoti hai. Aisi peresani jyada badi hard disk use karne se bhi aati hai.try to use 80gb or 40 gb hard disk.

Sorry dost 250 choti pad gayee ib 320 le li:tamatar:tamatar

Ib to kise din sara tamjham badalna dikhe hai

Bhai Norton ka original use kar ke dekh...Compture speed issi pakdega ek akash main udan lag jyaga...:p:p

Ye kuch jyada nahi ho gya....fer aadmiya mai koonsa programme daalna chahiye uddtey computer pai kaam karan khatar.

Desktop ko bhi clear rakhna chahiye na

use this benchmark for comparing CPUs: http://www.passmark.com/products/pt.htm

To check what is problem with delay, you can press ctr+alt+del to and check "process" tab to see which process is taking most CPU usage. if its exporer.exe then copying is the only task taking memory and processor utilization. if there is some other process too then you can investigate further about it.

Usually concurrent copy commands is not a very good idea but as you have enough memory and SATA HDD then it should not give troubles to you.

There can be many reasons behind poor system performance. In addition to checking the processes and system usage, I would recommend:

+ Using AVG Anti-virus. It is free. It's a little annoying when installed as you have to set up permissions, but after that, should be easy. Better than Norton as it does not use up system resources - Norton slows the computer down and I agree - it is useless. <http://free.avg.com/>

+ Using Spybot Search & Destroy: It is an excellent tool for detecting, isolating and removing spyware, trojans and worms <http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html>

+ Checking OS: What OS are you running? Win XP is still much better than Vista. I had Vista on mine but the computer was running incredibly slowly considering system specs. On switching back to XP (SP2), it is running as expected. I have an AMD Athlon, 64 X2 Dual, Core Processor 5000+, 2.61GHz, 1GB RAM, 320GB HDD. Vista killed it. It was running slower than a 186.


+ Defragmenting: Have you tried defragmenting? If you move files around often and have not defragged your drive recently, that's worth a go as it'll collate used and free space rather than having the sectors all over the place.

What is the writing speed of your hard drive? Though 5200rpm and above are adequate. Your computer specs are more than enough - shouldn't be a problem.

If you do find spyware etc. I would also suggest using COMODO firewall (also free!) <http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/>

Hope this helps!

Maam My configuration is same as yours except processor it is 2.5 GHZ
i changed Hard disk to 320 GB
From all above discussions and my RESEARCh i came to conclusion that i have to change RAM i am planning to use 2 Gb more.
Hope it works

deswal bhai shab norton speed increase nahi decrease karta hai........norton is bakwas anti-virus....

[satyenderdeswal]

hmmm....eeb itney janey mil ke kaho ho te thik hoga...per mera system te mast ho rahya se norton te e.....auraan te better result miley se bhai...
pher thum koi aur use kar lyo jo badhiya lagta ho bhai...

Branded mein bhi suad koni yaar office mein HP compaq DC 7800 hai. Core 2 uo 2.4 2 GB ram fer bhi ghana sa farak nahi dikhya.
Desktop liya itne rate mein Laptop bhi mil sake tha par wa baat nahi.
Jo cheez pasand nahi tha ke badal lyo Ghat badh asan hai assembled mein branded mein madi si dikkat ho gayee tha ke dhobra hande jao dealer dhore. ke fer dekho baat do din mein awega char din mein awega. Assembled mein thao pechkas ar khida dyo ke tension hai jis part mein dikkat hai tha le jao .:rock:rock:rockDonuwa ke apne suad hai len aala chaiye

@Vivek: The link works fine for me: http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html
If you are unable to access it, a google search will lead you to the home of Spybot-S&D

@Rakesh: More RAM may improve speed of file transfers but will not eliminate the underlying problem for poor system performance. Generally 2GB+ RAM is used by gamers or those using media editing apps. Good luck though!

Yes maam now you guessed right
all i do with my computer is games and file transfers:rock:rock
i am a mechanical engineer so max. i need is to install few 3D modalling softwares.
