***SORRY - WE'VE
HAD TO TEMPORARILY REMOVE SANDRA***

The
new Sandra has been released and 3DVelocity have
teamed up with SiSoft to bring it to you.
Some
people may remember the days when folks were saying
it was fine to model the year in a date as a two
digit number. Anyone at the time who had suggested
that this was not enough would probably have been
laughed at by some corporate executive: and then
we had the year 2000 issue!
"Whatever
was enough then is nowhere near enough now"
is one of the cornerstone principles of SiSoftware's
software design. There is a constant need for re-invention
and growth to be able to offer our customers the
tools they now need for their PCs.
There
was a time when Sandra was only offered in one flavour
and that was for Windows 32-bit on Intel compatible
architecture. At that time it was enough - that
was all there was - but that time is no more.
We
are now expanding support in several directions:
Shrinking in size to support remote benchmarking
of Pocket PC 2000, 2002, Windows Mobile 2003 and
Smart Phone 2002, 2003 operating systems while not
forgetting the high-end with Sandra 64-bit for AMD642
which will extend Sandra to be the first IA64 and
AMD642 commercial benchmark on the market right
now.
It
is no longer a case of walking into your high street
electrical store interested in a PDA and finding
yourself presented with a single choice. Now the
choice is not that clear and how do you tell them
apart? Sandra now allows clear comparison of PDA
& Smart Phones via a single familiar desktop
PC interface.
In
our continued commitment to extend language support
we have now added Italian to our single, easy to
use, multi-lingual installer.
