How to get benchmark of Houdini?

[adam-smith]

I want purchase a new computer. However, I don't know which is better(Houdini on NT 4.0). Could anyone can tell me how to get benchmark of them?

Benchmark in what way? GUI/Modelling/Display Performance or Rendering [Mantra?] Performance? I'll ask sidefx to see if they have some sort of internal benchmark script or something.

At Work I use a R12000 300mhz Octane 512MB ESI box and a P3 450mhz 384MB Oxygen VX1 box at home. I'm setting up H4 tonight at home for some tests and I'll compare the two platforms to my experience.

I guess a benchmark could be the raytraced houdini logo scene that fires up when you open a new houdini 4 session.

Thanks for your response.
I got some software from web. I think they may help me to got some "number"..
For a CG rookie, those tools are helpful.
Anyway, thank you.
