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...

The CPU speed was kept the same for all test, so it's not
a surprise that the Processor portion of the benchmark is about the same. Like
in Sandra, the memory portion of PCMark says that at stock speeds, the KT333CE
based boards have a slight advantage, however when overclocked the KT266A's has more bandwidth.
