SYSmark2001 uses real world applications
concurrently as an accurate way to test the system by following patterns that
reflect the way real users work. SYSmark2001's workloads accurately represent
today's updated business usage model. The benchmark runs at a realistic
execution speed, with think times between application interactions, in order to
emulate a desktop user's interaction with the operating system and applications.
Higher numbers denote better performance.

At
stock speeds, the Duron 1 GHz is not a speedster, but the scores are respectable for
a CPU of this type. When overclocked, the scores jump up quite quickly, and nicely, I must add.

Content Creation Winstone
2001 keeps multiple applications open at once and switches among those
applications. Content Creation Winstone 2001's activities focus on what we call
"hot spots," periods of activity that make your PC really work--the times where
you're likely to see an hourglass or a progress bar.
Business Winstone is a
system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall
performance when running today's Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98
ME, Windows NT 4.0 (SP6 or later), Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP which
runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time
a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance
scores.

The
Duron 1 GHz scores pretty well here, one thing is for sure you don't need a 1
GHz processor to work with office applications, even if they only cost
$90!
SPECviewperf™ is a portable OpenGL performance
benchmark program written in C. It was developed by IBM. Later updates and
significant contributions were made by SGI, Digital and other SPECopcSM project group members. SPECviewperf provides a vast
amount of flexibility in benchmarking OpenGL performance. Currently, the program
runs on most implementations of UNIX, Windows NT, Windows 95/98 and
Linux.

The Duron proves that you can still do professional 3D applications at good
levels of performance and still be cheap! Of course having a GeForce 4 Ti4600
helps out quite a bit!
