He wanted an online tool, however i'd prefer 3DMark06 as it's a more common tool

Never noticed that. An online tool seems a bit ridiculous - unless you're after a bandwidth test. That's not really testing your PC though.

Use the Microsoft Vista Ready checker. It is on the official Vista website. You have to view it in IE.

Vista thing is crap imo.

System Requirements Labs might be what your after.

noo, it was from windows iirc
but 3dmark is expensive aint it?
i mean not if i....
but i dont wanna....
or do i...

You can use 3Dmark in the demo mode.

3DMark06 has a free version which most people use to benchmark
