The Results section gives an overview of any scores obtained from the last run tests.

Clicking on the 'Options…' button brings up the following window.

Clicking on the 'Online ResultBrowser' button allows you to submit your PCMark score to the Online Result Browser, where you can compare your score with anyone else that has submitted their results.

The 'Details…' button allows you to view a breakdown of the test results obtained so you can easily see the scores obtained in each of the separate tests. You can also view the log which will help if any error occurs during your test.

The 'To Excel' button is only available to advanced and professional copies of PCMark05 and when clicked loads up the results of your test as well as some PC configuration information. This can make it easier to send the info to your friends or to compare numerous results.

Finally, the 'Save As…' button allows you to save the results into a PCMark Results file. Once saved you can then load the results into excel (advanced or professional only), or submit the saved results to ORB by right clicking within PCMark and selecting the option.

The final section of the PCMark05 interface is the 'Run PCMark' button. Clicking this will begin running the tests you selected in the Tests section.

Once the tests have finished running PCMark will bring up results window, which is the same as clicking on the 'Details…' button in the results section.

Now we've seen what PCMark offers lets have some fun with it!
