We have a couple new benchmarks included in this motherboard review:
Content Creation 2001: Simulates real world office type
situations, e.g. having multiple office type applications all computing and multitasking
at the same time. The higher the numbers, the better.
WinBench 99: Stresses all components of a computer, graphics card, memory subsystem,
harddrive, mainboard and how they work in unison. Again, the higher the numbers,
the better.
I also had the opportunity of using 3D Winbench 2000 and Business Winstone
2001, however, they wouldn't finish the test no matter what I did.
