    SiSoftware Sandra has been around for many years as a system analysis and testing program. It includes a comprehensive set of benchmarks.

    The latest update to Sandra includes a live ranking engine. This should provide a much more extensive results database than the results built into Sandra.

    Sandra's author has made the ranking more interesting by creating teams.

    You can get the password by PM'ing one of the moderators. However, to limit the membership to established forum participants we have arbitrarily set a threshold of 2 months + 30 posts.

    Have fun. :)

    I haven't seen it, but my current internet connection is not conducive to an in-depth search.

    Can someone look at the top ranked mobile CPU results for the Cryptography benchmark? I see my result the U2250 in the Samsung NC20 at the top.

    Hello guys,

    I am new to these forums and I am trying to follow the steps you outlined in this thread to access live benchmark data but I cannot find where to enable Customize Rank Engines in Options. My "Download Ranked Results" is grayed out, too. I am using the Lite version, do I need Pro for this option?

    Thanks !

    I believe that the ranking functionality works in the Lite version.

    You access the customisation window by clicking on the down arrow symbol to the right of the options button on the main Sandra window.

    Thank you, I was able to enable the option. Pick a login name/password. However, download ranked results option is still grayed out for me. Do I have to have a team, too? Can you only download your team's ranked results?

    Thanks !

    Did you run any benchmarks for which the results will have been uploaded?

    it all looks OK to me.

    John

    PS: I've now obtained clarification: The download facility is not currently enabled in the Lite version. It may be enabled soon, depending on overall load on the server.
