Version: 3DMark2001 1
Pros: If your looking to test your PC performance against some of your favorit oldies that still give the modern PC a run for its money I can't recommend this enough! Not only is this entertaining but it gives you a clear view of what your computer is capable of, it may not have the flash and glory of the 03 and 05 versions but it still boasts graphics most games use that will leave you in awe such as the nature scene. Also unlike the 03/05 version this benchmark is berly restricted so contains all the visual content, the very specific testing options are still disabled so its still worth purchasing but if you just enjoy computer eye candy the restricted version is all you need. I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to test their computer for gaming but doesn't have razor edge hardware or for anyone who just enjoys 3D graphic demonstrations.
If you want a additional pixel shader test be sure to check out the futuremark website for 3dmark 2001 SE which is also a free download.
Cons: Cannot really think of any problems other than Futuremark should of given more insentive to purchase the program as it provides allot even with its restrictions.

Version: 3DMark2001 1
Pros: Very nice tests, and really showed me how my system sized up to others (turns out mine isnt too great). I realize that this will be a great tool to compare results from now and when i get some upgrades. On my p4 3.4 gHz HT with 512 DDR2 ram, ati radeon x300 se, managed to pull off around 6400. Hoping to get some more RAM in the future, as well as a radeon x1300. Great program overally and great to compare with. =)

"Excellent graphics benchmarking program"
Pros: Simple, easy-to-use interface and attractive presentation. Gives the graphics system a thorough workout.
Cons: It would be helpful to have some basic memory and CPU tests included, and please find some better way to break down the information groups than the infamous Microsoft nested hierarchy plus symbols.

"Best graphics benchmark for slower computers that i've seen"
Pros: Told me alot about my graphics software, showed me how good my graphics card was in this laptop.
Cons: Only problem that i had with this is that it wouldn't give me a result at the end. I did not see how many 3DMarks i got. Other than that, very good program.
