Is there an application I can run that will tell me how fast my computer is running?
- by Robert Hume
At work I log into a virtual Windows machine. I'm told it runs as fast as a PC, but I'm skeptical. Is there an application I can run on the machine that will tell me how faster the machine is actually running?
It would be nice if it ran on Windows and on Mac.
Updating with more details -- I was asked "why does it matter" -- here's why:
It matters because I'm a programmer and I need as much speed (CPU and memory) as possible to do my work. IMO, the virtual machine is noticeably slower than a basic $800 PC would be, but I need a way a proving it. Websites like Bandwidthtest.com can show me my internet speed, so I'm wondering if there's an app that can test my computer's speed.
