I've been runnning some of the benchmarking software from Doug's benchmark page in the hopes that I can get a feel for what's going on. http://people.redhat.com/dledford/benchmark.html I've run tiotest, lmbench, and bonnie - all these were easy to compile and run. lmbench is comprehensive but a little opaque as to how to get it to spit out results. Once you've figured it out it can generate a lot of good result data. Here is a memory test that was recommended to me - I haven't tried it yet. http://reality.sgi.com/cbrady_denver/memtest86/ Good luck Kent
