Benchmarks: Winstone2002, Winbench99

Winstone 2002 Source: Zdnet

Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP.

Business Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business Winstone doesn't mimic what these packages do; it 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.

1. Epox 8RDA+ - 166/333 47.1
2. Asus A7N8X - 166/333 47.1
3. Asus A7N8X - 187/374 48.9

Business Winstone

1 Epox 8RDA+ - 166/333 33.2
2. Asus A7N8X - 166/333 33.5
3. Asus A7N8X - 187/374 35.9

It's not much surprise that the nForce2 based motherboards perform the same here as well. Overclocking gives a small performance boost.

WinBench 99 v1.2 Benchmark Results
Asus A7N8X Score Ranking
1. Business Disk - 166/333 7300
1a. Business Disk - 187/374 7300
2. High-End Disk - 166/333 24700

3. Business Graphics - 166/333 1060

4. High-End Graphics - 166/333 1950
4a. High-End Graphics - 187/374 2200

Like usual HDD performance doesn't change much when overclocked, but the graphics portion of Winbench99 gets a healthy boost from overclocking!
