WinBench 99 is a
subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a PC's graphics,
disk, and video subsystems in a Windows environment. WinBench 99's tests can run
on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Me
systems.

The disk
performance is just horrible! We even double checked that DMA was
enabled in the BIOS and reinstalled the Intel INF's multiple times! The Graphics portion
of the benchmark seems limited by the SDRAM as well.

Sandra is designed to
test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The
numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real
world performance.

Everything is where I'd expect even the low-end
memory performance. Not much can be done about that since the 845Pro2 uses
SDRAM.
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...
A quick search of the PCMark database over at MadOnion shows that the numbers are right for a system
of our specs. As
we can see, the hard drive subsystem doesn't like to be overclocked (you think I would
have figured that one out by now ;-).
