Among other projects, I'm trying to come up with clever ways of developing scripts that determine the performance capabilities of the end user's local machine.

I would like to develop a script that uses a memory-intensive task to determine how much RAM a computer has, at least in terms of whether or not it possesses enough to carry out memory-intensive tasks without bogging down. Basically a stress utility.

I'm scripting in MX '04 Pro, but I don't know what sort of tasks I would need to throw at a system to get the proper result. Any suggestions, alternatives?
