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.

As we can see here, the availbe memory bandwidth
both at 133 MHz and 159 MHz is about the same because the memory running at 159
MHz is at 300 MHz RDRAM mode.
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...

Just like we saw in Sandra, the RDRAM performs about the
same in terms of theoretical memory bandwidth and usage.
