Lamark

Knowing your computer means a bit more than just the general info on hardware components. Performance needs to be analyzed, depending on the task which needs to be performed, and this operation is called benchmarking. As such, Lamark comes with the means to help you get an idea how much juice can be squeezed out of your machine.

One of the application’s main advantages is portability. This makes it possible to easily store and carry it on a thumb drive in case you want to perform this test on other computers besides your own. What’s more, it doesn’t leave any traces on the target PC during runtime, mostly because registry entries are not modified in the process.

The application starts to test your computer’s hardware configuration immediately on launch. Needless to say that it’s recommended to cease all other activities for results to be accurate. On the bright side of things, analysis is continuous and refreshes at regular intervals to provide the updated status.

Every line of info comes with its own progress slider which animates on each analysis operation. General computer information is also shown in a dedicated section, such as processor type and potential, as well as memory make and model.

In the end, you’re able to obtain info on the power of your CPU, FPU, memory, GDI, disk, as well as total value. Accurate results are displayed. Unfortunately, you’re not really able to put any values to good use, especially since the submission options doesn’t really work, with the dedicated online service down for a while.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Lamark is mostly practical if you want to know for yourself what your machine is capable of. Analysis is constantly performed, with results quickly displayed and updated, but with no option to compare to others or view a score, overall practicality has a lot to suffer.
