I tried the free version of PCMark 10 but never could get it to run on my desktop. Now that I've done a clean install with FCU, I might give it another try to see how it goes before purchasing the paid version.

That will change your mind. It is a long and boring benchmark

Yeah, I know... I ran it a few times on my laptop. I think it's something like 20 minutes but I could be wrong. I know it's long though.

Tea pots with dragons are the only reason I made it through the whole run

I bought this old MOBO, CPU, and heatsink from a friend for $50. He didn't know what he had but told me it was a Core 2 Quad so I bought it to make it into a ubuntu server and due to lack of parts to build it up I started with new thermal paste. It was no Core 2 Quad but a Quad Core Xeon. That makes two Xeon's in my family now. It's going to be just fine for a Ubuntu server.
