ViMark - Version 1.4.1 Modern computer system has so much performance that even a three year old system would satisfy most people's daily needs, including browsing internet, email, office work, and even photo management. You won't type faster by getting a faster system. Thus, the regular benchmarks which measures general system performance don't matter anymore.Certainly, there are exceptions, including gaming, anti-virus scan, and video-related work. For the best gaming performance, a powerful video card is often more important than CPU. Anti-virus scanning is time-consuming. However, scanning speed is mostly determined by the hard drive speed, not CPU. The CPU usage often stays under 30% during a scan.Thus, the only time consuming task which is still CPU intensive is video compression. It affects people everyday - encode video for iPod, PMC, Zen; burn DVD; encode video for websites etc.Many system testers already do some kind of video
