ArcInfo has been supported across a number of different UNIX platforms for several decades. ArcInfo has been available on the Windows NT platform for a few years and has become quite popular for a variety of reasons.

Unfortunately, there is no good way of judging what NT PC might run ArcInfo equivalently to a particular UNIX computer. This is important for NT PC purchasers since there is such a wide choice of hardware. We have put together a benchmark to help judge the relative performance of particular hardware configurations.

This benchmark is a series of timed ArcInfo commands conducted against common datasets. For details on what will happen in the benchmark, please see the benchmark Methodology page.

To download the benchmark files, please see the benchmark Download page.
