WinBench 99 is a subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a PC's graphics, disk, and video subsystems in a Windows environment. WinBench 99's tests can run on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Me systems.

HDD performance is about the same as previous motherboards we have tested. Perhaps it's time to upgrade our test Hard Drive to something a bit better... The results from the Graphics portion of Winbench 99 are a bit low. Let's take a look at whether that translate into poor 3D performance.

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.
