Benchmarking

We conduct the usual tests on the setup with the following configuration :

Test System:

• Intel Pentium 4 ES 1.5Ghz
• ThermalTake heatsink/fan
• Maxtor 40G ATA133 7200RPM
• MSI Geforce3 Ti200
• 512MB Winbond DDR333 DDR
• Windows 2000 + SP2
• SiS1.09 AGP driver

In our tests, we ran the at Async DDR333 modes. The first is based on P4 1.5ES at 15x100, ram async at 166 (DDR333). The second test is reducing the multiplier to 11x133 (1.46G) and run it at async 133/166 and we compare the difference of running the same processor at 133Mhz (1.46G) and 100Mhz (1.5G). We use the following software to benchmark the results.

• Winbench99
• Content Creation Winstone2002
• Business Winstone 2001

Content Creation Winstone 2002

Content Creation Winstone is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP. Content Creation Winstone 2002 uses the following applications:

• Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1
• Adobe Premiere 6.0
• Macromedia Director 8.5
• Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4
• Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 7.01.00.3055
• Netscape Navigator 6/6.01
• Sonic Foundry Sound Forge 5.0c (build 184)

Following the lead of real users, Content Creation Winstone 2002 keeps multiple applications open at once and switches among those applications. Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a single large test that runs the above applications through a series of scripted activities and returns a single score. Those activities focus on what we call "hot spots," periods of activity that make your PC really work--the times where you're likely to see an hourglass or a progress bar.

Summary

Content Creation Winstone 2002

The results are as tabulated below. We didn't see any major differences in the benchmark results of Content Creation tools. The differences are minimal. Surprisingly, the results of both at 100/166 (P4 1.5G) and 133/166 (P4 1.46G) are the same. Both results are 0.2 points below the Ref board.
