SiS645DX

Benchmarking

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

Test System:

• Intel Pentium 4 ES 1.5Ghz
• ThermalTake heatsink/fan
• IBM 13.5GB 7200 RPM HD
• MSI Geforce3 Ti200
• 512MB Winbond DDR333 DDR
• IBM 20G ATA100 HD
• Windows 2000 + SP2
• SiS1.09m AGP/IDE drivers

In our tests, we ran the system under 3 modes. Sync 133 optimised, Async 133/166 optimised and Async 133/200. At 133/166 (DDR333), ram timings are CAS2 Ultra, at 133/200 (DDR400), ram timings are CAS 2 Fast. The rest are at defaults. We will investigate the results of the various benchmarking softwares followed by 3D benchmarking in pages 6 and 7.

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 very minute.
