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.
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.
With the Winstone 2002
benchmarks, we see that overclocking the system nets us a over a 10% increase in
both Business Winstone and Content Creation. Whether you'd notice that extra 10%+ though is another
question.
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 stays about the same despite overclocking.
If you're working with HDD intensive applications overclocking will not boost
your performance. The graphics portion of Winbench 99 though gets a very healthy
increase thanks to overclocking. Let's see if that will translate into better
framerates in upcoming game
tests.
