I think it is somewhere on their web site, and they publish results from time to time. (It has been awhile since I ran it, but, it seems to me that it has to run in (unprotected) DOS mode on W95. My German is not too good, but, you can look here: http://www.heise.de/ http://www.heise.de/ct/ftp/pcconfig.shtml I think the file you want is ctcm161.zip If you find a place where the results are collected, let us know. There are ctcm results on Tom's Hardware page also: http://sysdoc.pair.com/ http://sysdoc.pair.com/ctcm.html No slot I/II, LX/BX results though. John McCalpin's stream benchmarks are to be found on: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/ http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/standard/Bandwidth.html There is still some useful stuff around Larry McVoy's lmbench site, although it is getting a little stale: http://reality.sgi.com/lm/lmbench/lmbench.html http://reality.sgi.com/lm/lmbench/lmbench-summary A different approach, which I find very useful, is the Hint benchmark from the (DoE) Ames Lab (Ames, Iowa - not NASA Ames).
