series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete these
activities to produce its performance scores.

In
Winstone 2004, the Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9 is able to score quite a bit higher than
the NF3-based Epox 9NDA3+ in the Business Winstone 2004 benchmark. Things were a
lot closer in the Content Creation 2004 benchmark, but the Gigabyte nForce4
motherboard was able to squeak out a win here too.

Hard
drive performance is slightly lower than witnessed with Athlon64 motherboards.
Graphics results are quite a bit higher than with the older AGP based systems.
Looks like Winbench 99 likes PCI Express very much. We'll see how this
translates into 3D performance in a moment.
