Benchmarks: Winstone 2004, Winbench 99

Winstone 2004 Source: Zdnet

Content Creation Winstone 2004 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications in Windows XP. Business Winstone 2004 runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete these activities to produce its performance scores.

In the Winstone 2004 tests, the ECS KN1-SLI Extreme motherboard performs very well and is able to challenge the DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR for top spot, impressive considering it is the fastest nForce4 SLI motherboard on the market.

I am rather surprised by the ECS motherboard's performance in the disk tests, something does not look right here. Odd since I reran the benchmark several times and got the same results.
