Mushkin knows most of their customers aren't normal users and that most
of them plan to push their systems to the max.

At 178 MHz FSB with a setting of CL2 the Mushkin is
well above the Corsair XMS2400 at 170 MHz FSB and performs just under the OCZ
PC3000 DDR. Looks like Mushkin is doing something right!
PCMark is a new benchmark from our pals at MadOnion
which a whole system benchmark. It can be used on desktop PC's, Laptops and even
Workstations and tests everyday computing from home to office usage. PCMark
specifically stresses the CPU, memory subsystem, graphics subsystem, hard
drives, WindowsXP GUI (if WinXP is used), video performance and even laptop
batteries. This benchmark was released March 12, 2002 and can be downloaded from
Madonion if you would like to give it a test run on your computer for
comparisons sake... don't cry to hard when you compare your numbers to the ones
listed below!

PCMark
2002 is a brand new benchmark from our pals over at MadOnion (gotta love that onion logo) and one of the things it tests
is memory performance. Here the OCZ leads
the pack slightly since PCMark tests overall available memory bandwidth.
3DMark2001 SE is the latest installment in the
3DMark series by MadOnion. By combining DirectX8 support with completely new
graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 SE
has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor
manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite
demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test
a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders,
Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping,
support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests
using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

SE seems to like the Mushkin PC2100 DDR quite a bit! 9485 3Dmarks are simply an awesome score for a non
overclocked GeForce3 Ti500 based system.... and the AthlonXP 2000+ can't hurt either! :) Up next,
the gaming benchmarks.
