Benchmarks: Winstone 2002, Winbench 99

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.

Despite having the CPU speed approximately the same, performance is quite a bit better with the higher FSB. Of course that shouldn't be any surprise to the overclockers out there.

Overall overclocking does not affect Winbench 99 scores very much. HDD performance on the Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP-939 is better than the Asus A8V in Business Disk, but slower in the high end disk tests.
