Online benchmark with VirtualMark

Do you want to test your computer to see how good it is? Try VirtualMark.

VirtualMark

VirtualMark is an online free benchmark software witch test and compare your system against milions of computers and configurations.

How accurate is VirtualMark? I say just one think: This free benchmark software is made by Futuremark industry same company witch make 3DMark. If you dont know anythink about 3DMark i tell you just this: 3DMark it is a benchmark application that every computer publication/computer related site use to test processors, graphic cards, system speed when make a review or a top.

Free Remote access software

The oldes free remote acccess software on the internet is VNC, but VNC sometimes can be very hard to configure and if you are under a router or some fancy firewall VNC can be realy hard to configure.

Another alternative I found free on internet is Team Viewer where you can connect on a friend computer widthout to even know his IP adress.

Team viewer it give you automaticaly an ID and a password witch if you give them to a friend he can connect to your computer. Each time you open Team Viewer ID remain the same but password changes so nobody can connect to your computer if you dont want it.

A great feature is Team Viewer can be used from installer package or can be installed like a normal application. And can be used as:

  • Remote support
  • Presentation
  • File transfer
  • VPN
