SiS648 Reference Mainboard Review (5)
Overclocker 15 July 2002

Business Winstone 2001

Business Winstone is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98 SE, Windows NT 4.0 (SP6 or later), Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business Winstone doesn't mimic what these packages do; it runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance scores. The CD-ROM that contains Business Winstone includes all the files and application portions you need to run the benchmark.

Again, we see that the results of the Business Winstone2001 is lower than that of the 645DX. We benchmark it twice before and after installing the bus mastering drivers 2.01.02 and noticed that the initial default driver (after installing W2k) seems to give a better score. It is most likely the drivers which needs more tuning. The same applies to our Shuttle AS45GTR.
