The Test System
All testing was done on a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with all the latest updates installed. All benchmarks were completed on the desktop with no other software programs running. I will be using three separate systems for the testing today. Though to keep things as consistent as possible I will use the same hardware when I can.
