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. Higher numbers represent better performance.

The memory bandwidth is rather impressive
considering that there is that KT333CE issue... Let's see if other programs can
take advantage of the extra bandwidth.
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...

For DDR to break 4000 points in the memory benchmark is quite a feat! As we
can see, PCMark just loves the extra bandwidth!
