* - hyperthreading was enabled and running for all
the tests.
SysMark2002 is more of an extension of SysMark2001
rather then a whole new benchmark. The applications used during
testing have been updated and most importantly for AMD users, the
new SysMark2002 uses the Windows Media Encoder 7.1 which supports
the AthlonXP's SSE instructions.
Here we
see that the Gigabyte GA-8S655FX Ultra is a tad slower than the reference SiS
655FX motherboard. Still it performs very well, better than the i865PE based motherboards.

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.
In the
Winstone 2002
benchmarks we see again the Gigabyte GA-8S655FX is a tad slower than the
reference board. Still performance is very good, the 655FX gives the i865PE/i875P
based motherboards a good run for their money.
