Nag screen turned me off.

I assemble computers on a regular basis and I am looking for a benchmarking utility to compare system performance when switching microprocessors, video cards, adding more memory, and similar tasks. This program gives fair results, however I will not be using it. The reason is that changing system components like that sometimes requires to clear the CMOS for the system to boot properly, and such action resets the computer clock. In the evaluation version I tested, every time I cleared the CMOS, the benchmarking utility refused to start, claiming I had turned back the clock to defeat the program's copy protection. I strongly dislike the implication that anyone would go through the trouble of keeping their system clock innacurate in order to cheat a evaluation version, and the creator of the program should have known that a computer clock is not a reliable means to control time elapsed when opening the computer case is involved. So I'll be looking for another benchmarking solution that has more respect for the people evaluating their product.
