it was suggest as something for me to try when i was having problems with
system i am on now, but my problems proved to be else where and i have not
as yet run this test.

i would like to give credit to who supplied it, but i had a drive crash
and it took his name and 10 days of email along with it.

do some reading in faqs about what you will be doing and you should come
to a clear understanding as to how well you will be testing your system.
