These time trials have been conducted on my Home PC they are not official ratings, I compiled the figures for my self and anyone else who may have a passing interest.
My machine is a Pentium Dual Core 2.4GHz, 2GB Memory, 250GB HDD, Nvidia 6200 Graphics card 10/100 CAT5 network, 19 TFT VideoSeven Monitor. I used an 80GB HDD for all the installs/trials on the 2nd IDE Channel.
