Futuremark PCMark Vantage 1.0.0.0	Source: FutureMark

PCMark? Vantage is the first objective hardware performance benchmark for PCs running 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows Vista. PCMark Vantage is perfectly suited for benchmarking any type of Windows Vista PC from multi media home entertainment systems and laptops to dedicated workstations and hi-end gaming rigs. Regardless of whether the benchmarker is an artist or an IT Professional, PCMark Vantage shows the user where their system soars or falls flat, and how to get the most performance possible out of their hardware. PCMark Vantage is easy enough for even the most casual enthusiast to use yet supports in-depth, professional industry grade testing.

PLEASE NOTE - All of the legacy AMD 890FX/790FX/785G systems were run on WD740 hard drives so direct comparisons should not be drawn between these reference systems and the Z68/P67/H67 platforms that used an OCZ Vertex2 SSD for storage. The legacy systems are included in these benchmark results to illustrate just how far things have come.
