Performance tests help you determine what steps are needed for PC performance.
Websites such as VirtualMark enable computer users to check out a PC's performance online. PC performance tests can measure the CPU speed, memory and installed drivers. A performance test gives you an idea of what modifications to your computer can be made to unleash its best possible performance.
In some cases, you can even get a comparison of how your computer's performance measures up to a recommended level. You may be required to download an add-on or plug-in to run the performance test online, but you can receive your results in a few minutes.
