PCMark 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.
To be
honest I'm not sure why the Albatron KX18D Pro II does so well in the memory
portion of PCMark2002. Overclocking allows the KX18D Pro II to break the 7K memory
score.
By combining DirectX8 support with completely
new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001
SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor
manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite
demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test
a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders,
Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping,
support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests
using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better
performance.

The KX18D Pro II is slightly faster than the Epox 8RGA+ in
3DMark2001SE. Perhaps the C1 nForce2's are tuned for a bit more performance.
