WinBench 99 is a subsystem-level
benchmark that measures the performance of a PC's graphics, disk, and video
subsystems in a Windows environment. The benchmark consists of four tests;
Business Disk, High end Disk, Business Graphics and High end Graphics. The D850GB
scored above the MSI board for the most part here, but faltered slightly on the
high-end graphics test.

3D Winbench 2000 measures system-level
3D performance including processor and graphics subsystem tests. To understand
the processor 3D performance, the benchmark suite includes the 3D WinBench 2000
processor test. This benchmark measures the CPU intensive portion of the 3D
graphics pipeline and returns a small number indicating performance
levels.

Content Creation Winstone 2001
benchmarks a system by running multiple windows-based applications as a regular
user might. While there are six applications which form the basis of this
benchmark, the entire session is a single test, returning a single result.
Content Creation runs Adobe Photoshop 5.5, Adobe Premiere 5.1, Macromedia
Director 8.0, Macromedia Dreamweaver 3.0, Netscape Navigator 4.73 and Sonic
Foundry Sound Forge 4.5 through a series of scripted activities that make the
computer actually work. Again, the D850GB shows off a bit better than MSI's
offering.

Business Winstone is a system level
application based benchmark for performance users. The benchmark measures a
computers overall system capabilities by running an assortment of windows based
applications. The key to Business Winstone is that it doesn't mearly mimic what
these applications do, but rather it actually runs the applications through a
series of scripted activities and uses the time to complete these activities as
the basis behind its performance rating. The Intel board hasn't let up in its
small lead over the 850Pro2.
