MacBench 5 Processor Testing. Longer bars are better. MacBench is a "classic" benchmarking utility that still shows it's ability as an invaluable tool for Mac OS 9 users. This test was performed under Mac OS 9.2.2, and it clearly shows the benefits from upgrading both the processor, and the video card.
