The link was helpful, but since I have most of what it offers - the
computer at present is not connected to the internet, so I am guessing
the spyware, virus etc are not the problem. When I ran separate
renders of a Video I had on both computers - same exact specs on the
NLE/video, the AMD ran 8:00 (approx) while the Dual Core ran 5:00
(approx). That is a huge difference considering the Dual core has DDR
(mixed batch 1.75gig) and the AMD has 2 gig Kingston RAM. Again, it
might have nothing to do with the RAM. It might be software related
or even a bad motherboard or something, but I want a good prgram that
will benchmark all of the things I am looking for and tell me if it is
running optimal or not.
I has been defragged and should be running quicker in my opinion. Any
ideas?
