Provided Software
- CyberLink PowerDVD: This is the complete DVD playback utility. It allows you to do all sorts of neat things in addition to standard playing of DVD and Blu-ray discs. If you’re still on XP and don’t have native DVD support this is definitely a good grab considering it’s free ($49.95 usually for standard).
- CyberLink DVD Suite: The ultimate DVD burning and creation utility retails for 129.95, included is:
- PowerProducer 4
- PowerDirector 5 Express
- Power2GO 5.5
- Medi@show 3
- PowerBackup 2.5
- PowerDVD Copy
- LabelPrint 2
- Ruby ROM: This is a CD with a lot of extras, small games, and wallpapers. A nice finishing touch.
Windows Information
Just to help ensure that my testing is both pertinent and reproducible, I’m posting my winver and dxdiag. If you’ve never seen these screens before and are interested in knowing how to open them up do this:
“Start” -> “run” -> “winver” ENTER
“Start” -> “run” -> “dxdiag” ENTER
With the icky stuff out of the way let’s go see what matters: the benchmarks
