As my previous post about 8G RAM upgraded, I did a STRESS TEST on my desktop today.

click here for biggest picture.

My desktop setup:

• Microsoft Windows Vista x64 SP1.
• 8GB physical RAM.
• Non-brand Desktop.

Let me explain what I did:

• More than 75 applications running simultaneously. (Still can’t beat 165 Linux applications)
• Running 2 x VMware ESX 3.0.x(1024MB RAM for each ESX Server) on top of VMware Workstation 6.0.3
• Running 2 x Windows 2003 Server(512MB RAM for each Win2K3) on top of VMware Workstation 6.0.3.
• Running Ubuntu 8.04 beta(1024MB RAM) on top of VMware Workstation 6.0.3.
• Running Windows 2008 Data Center(2048MB RAM) on top of VMware Workstation 6.0.3.
• Running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (1024MB RAM) on top of VMware Workstation 6.0.3.

Look carefully on my Windows Task Manager -> Performance:

• CPU Usage about 30%
• Memory usage 7.79GB
• Page File 7179M

Conclusion:

I don’t feel any lack, slow or halt  in my machine so far and I’m happy with the results.I know this is not a good benchmark test but I think I’m happy with return of investment.
