What about Real World Benches?

[king smp]

I was experimenting with having no paging file (BTW better to have a paging file; even if you have plenty of ram it affects
the commit charge by not having a pagefile)

I have tested systems over the years by using many benchmarks
3DMarks,Cinebenches,PCMark,FurMark etc

and I realized a good real world bench is to see how many IE8 browsers you can open (or FireFox,Mozilla )
at one time and still be able to browse efficiently.
On my old Dual Xeon P4 Prestonia 3.2 I could run about 50 before it lagged
On my C2D 2.4 I get around 80-90
So I can see the effect on real world mutlitasking

also I just tried opening almost every app I have installed
I had 4 MSOFffice programs,photoshop,malwarebytes,dvd flick,WinTV tv capture etc
to test RAM and Paging File

The question is does anybody else have good Real World Benches to try out?

Real-world? Opening IE 80 times is a real-world scenario?

Mesa no unnerstand...

Well I would think that it is more realistic then calculating Prime numbers is?
Wouldnt you agree?

I like the benches in the reviews where they will use a freeware encoder and
than a easily available video clip and test encoding FPS for example

I do have to agree that I doubt I will ever have IE8 open 80 times LOL

Maybe this thread is an epic fail?

I was curious besides standard benches what other users do
to test out their system

BTW I guess I am a Nerd because I thought it was cool
to have 80 explorers open
also opening every major app on computer and seeing how
it responded was fun

Wow I guess I should get out more LOL

I actually can't think of anything besides transcoding that a) gives the PC a good workout and b) is not an artificial benchmark. The only really taxing thin I do on my PC is game, so as long as I have decent fps, all is right with the world.

I officially declare my own thread as an Epic Fail! LMAO
