Can anyone tell me some benchmark software for Windows? I'm using **PassMark PerformanceTest** & **PCMark**. I'm also looking for a stress software.

Answer: 
Some of the software I use include [3D Mark 06](http://www.futuremark.com/benchmarks/3dmark06/introduction/), [SuperPI](http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=36), [wPrime](http://www.wprime.net/), [SiSoft Sandra](http://www.sisoftware.net/)

For stress testing, [OCCT](http://www.overclock.net/downloads/191765-occt.html), [Orthos](http://www.overclock.net/downloads/138142-orthos.html) & [Prime95](http://www.overclock.net/downloads/137251-prime95.html) are good choices.

My Weapon of Choice is [IOMETER](http://www.iometer.org/). It is used to test the HDD at the Block Level.
