Where would I find stress tests? (And what's a good one?)

Could Sisoft Sandra do stress tests?

Found this: http://www.passmark.com/

Sandra is OK, PCMark would be better.

Ok, downloading the free version of PCMark now.

I've got a bunch of data; what am I looking for?

Go to the orb site and check your results against systems of the same specs. See if you are way down on anything. Also, if it ran pcmark with no trouble, it usually ain't broke at the moment.

That makes perfect sense.

Thanks for all your help, everyone.

"In order to run properly, PCMark04 requires Media Player 9 or newer to be installed on your computer."

What is this bs?

After installing WiMP, I can only seem to run the video and ram tests. All of the other tests abort on me. The FAQ an their web site is pretty useless, and google isn't turning up any viable results...

Needs to test your ability to play movies, I guess.
