Very recently I decided to buy a new computer. While trying to determine the relative merits of different processors, I found myself "surfing" for hours thru endless, mostly irrelevant web sites.  So to make things easier on you I have provided links to a variety of benchmark pages.  The first groujp of  links go directly to the actual benchmark listings, if you want to visit the main page of a site listed here go to the benchmark host sites section.
