NovaBench is actually an over 17 MB download. Also not so easy for a semi-computer literate non-coder type person to use. I couldn't get anything like the results you posted. Maybe I downloaded the wrong thing, but I didn't see any other options in the link you posted.
Also I see you edited the post since I read it this morning (Cal time). So I don't know how the info I spent the time to pull out relates to you original request.
Actually I think you should just assume that most solers use off the shelf computers...probably 90% laptops with integrated graphic chipsets. I doubt that very many are using alien-ware hi-end gaming machines.

Here in central Cal, depending on where I'm connecting I get from .3 Mbps to 3Mbps down and from .15 Mbps to 1.9 Mbps up on my 3G donaggle. At the coffee shop on DSL 1.2 ~ 1.5 Mbps down and .3 ~ .5 up.

I have a 15.5'" wide screen display. 1366 x 786 resolution...32 bit color depth...60Hz refresh rate.

My machine has 2GB RAM, Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3400 (2.16 GHz), with standard (HP) Mobile Intel 4 Series Chipset graphics board.
OS is Win Vista SP2 (fully updated).
Mostly I use Chrome (especially for sol). Also use on occasion FireFox (still on 6), Opera, and on very rare occasions IE9.

Yes, I made error there - it is 12Mb... 3 is version number... oops

But I cant think of an easier program to use - there is a very large button when you start the app that says 'Start Benchmark Tests'



All that info is still relevant Jack - NovaBench is just a convenient way to get hold of it, and provides simple numbers that allow comparison of both windows and mac machines.

Lake Ontario 300 Challenge 2025

Lake Ontario Offshore Racing (LOOR) welcomes Sailonline sailors (SOLers for short) to a second virtual version of a race in their annual series, the LO300. As the name implies, the LO300 is a 300nm offshore race across the length and breadth of Lake Ontario, from and back to Port Credit YC. Once again, as is our wont on Lake Ontario, a fleet of Beneteau First 36.7s is being made available to virtual racers. There is an overall prize for the SOLer who best bosses Lake Ontario over the two races hosted by Sailonline, this 300 and the Susan Hood raced back in May; so, let the competition be fierce!

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
