[QUOTE="krs, post: 1835025, member: 67742"] I was under the impression that I can run a Geekbench 5 test on my Mac and then compare it to see what "score" others have for the exact same model and if too far off the norm, then do some more investigation. I signed up for Geekbench to actually tried that myself - then couldn't quickly find a "test button" or something like that....and then came across something that sounded like they wanted me to pay $99.- to do the test. Are they kidding??? That was the end of that for me. Agree that the one issue that is mentioned relates more to upload speed to the net, but I anted to make sure everything on the MBp is up to snuff. Any way to test that in a general fashion? I think a general generic test would be handy for many members as a first step for troubleshooting a "struggling Mac" [/QUOTE]
