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.

6.	Float SSE2 - 100/266	1715 MB/s

While not a screamer, the Celeron 1.7 GHz processor does fairly well here. Bandwidth is good considering we're sharing it with the onboard videocard.

PCMark 2002	Source: MadOnion

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...

PCMark seems to like the Hermes despite the Celeron 1.7 GHz processor. Like we saw in Sandra, the memory portion of PCMark2002 is very good even with the integrated videocard.
