As you can see from the above screenshot; the four basic tests can be run individually or all automatically – one after another. The screenshot was taken after running QwikMark’s tests on my desktop. Here are the comparable results taken from my laptop, also running Windows 7 but 32-bit:

While QwikMark might be a tad primitive for serious benchmarking, it could be a handy little tool to help compare basic performance levels between various machines or hardware components. The software also provides a nice little summary of system resources, including precise CPU details as well as amounts of memory installed. The fact that QwikMark is so small, and portable, and free, certainly adds a lot of appeal.
