Wprime really stresses the cpu 100%, if HyperPi is just 8xSuperpi it doesn't do that.

It wouldn't make much sense to buy an SSD for a Pentium 4, or a system with 1GB of RAM.

you'd be surprised by the performance boost you'll get by equipping and older system with an SSD that maxes out the storage controller; instead of a slow PC, the system will become responsive and a pleasure to use again

@Massman : He wanted to have a good ram test PJ , not a CPU test !

@ Boss : And for the SSD, it's absolutely true, even when benching an old S478 Pentium 4 2.0Ghz, with Vista 32bit as OS and the SSD as boot drive, the load times are scary fast... SSD's also make laptops scream !!

Thanks a bunch for the info and the help everyone! I think I have a better idea of what all these programs are good for now.

Regarding the SSD... I'd have bought one last week during the Bing cashback sale if there were any in stock, but looks like Intel won't get them re-shipped back into etailers until the end of this month at the earliest.
