Prelude to Benchmarks and Test Specs

As the Intel G33 Express chipset is Microsoft Windows Vista ready, PCSTATS will be testing the Shuttle XPC SG33G50 SFF system in Windows Vista 32 bit. Consequently there are slightly less benchmarks than we would normally have for a WindowsXP based test system because benchmark compatibility with Vista is still finding its feet.

The details of how the Shuttle XPC SG33G50 SFF system test system was configured for benchmarking; the specific hardware, software drivers, operating system and benchmark versions is indicated below. In the second column are the general specs for the reference platforms this Intel G33 Express based motherboard is to be compared against.

Please take a moment to look over PCSTATS test system configurations before moving on to the individual benchmark results on the next page.

In the last year or so PCSTATS has tested quite a few SFF PC's but none will be compared to the Shuttle XPC SG33G50 because the system and test parameters are different. If you're interested in the small systems, you'll want to check out our reviews on the MSI MEGA mPC 945, Biostar iDEQ 250N, Shuttle XPC SN27P2 and the two tiny AOpen miniPC MP915-B Super Multi and Mini PC MP945-VX Ultra small SFF reviews.
