Benchmarking! Need help, understanding!

[Manuel Chachere]

Was not sure where i could post this but I had questions and man... I find myself on here more and more everyday for my questions. Can i just say thank you all for helping me with all my questions. Most of the time i feel like its a waste for you all to answer them and then I get such timely responses just makes everything easier. So thank you all

I have a couple of questions but I'll stick to the most immediate one.
I downloaded Sisoftware Sandra for Benchmarking.. after a good.. mm 30-40mins I got my results.
To my surprise (not really) I dont actually understand what Im looking at. lol. I guess i expect it to be like.. "Benchmarking for Dummies..." but yeah.. dont understand a thing.

Anyone mind helping me decipher this encrypted message. Those "Error" don't look too good and the "Finished Successfully: No" worries me.

Most that information is not useful for much. There is too many specific workloads tested there that you are unlikely to use. You can use cinebench r15 for cpu and unigine valley for gpu.

For those that don't know:

SiSoftware Sandra is a 32- and 64-bit client/server Windows system analyzer that includes benchmarking, testing and listing modules. It tries to go beyond other utilities to show you more of what is really going on under the hood so you draw comparisons at both a high and low-level in a single product. You can get information about the CPU, GPGPU, chipset, video adapter (GPU), ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals even .NET and Java.

Now to answer you question. That error isn't anything important. It's just talking about your PageFile running out of space. I looked over your log and it says you have 12GB of RAM installed... so you have more than enough memory installed. What you could do... if you really wanted to do... is go increase the amount of your Page File (virtual memory) in your computer or just disable Page File entirely since you don't really need it. If you have more than 4GB of RAM you don't really need Page File. That's all...

Hope I answered your question.

How would i go about either increasing or removing page file and would this be good to do ona 8gb desktop? Would i be better off with cinebench r15 and/or unigine valley over sisoft sandra?
