Is PCMARK05 a good test?

if ur gonna do pcmark05, i would also do pcmark03 and compare those results to others to....give yourself a better idea of how good ur comp really is.
 
PCMark tests all of your systems components, unlike 3dmark which is mainly the video card and cpu. Not many people on this forum have posted there PCMark scores, so it would be a little difficult to compare results here, but if you use 3dmark03/05 then there are numerous posts for that here. I would run both of them and then post tthem here, and you can compare with other members.
 
Bench-marking, even two exact computers, will cause different results. If you want to keep your system sweet, un-install ALLL the crap that you are never going to use.

Eg: MS-OFFICE is fast approaching a gig, and you can type anything you like using
NOTEPAD, (For HTML), and WORDPAD.

The only advantage to having plenty of MEMORY, is that WINDOWS can store more programs there. It takes a lot of time to keep all them cells refreshed. And it's still got to switch/look-up the programs anyway...

XP itself isn't worth mentioning, as MS-DOS, did nearly the same things, with a 6MB (OS). Go figure...
