Business Winstone 2002 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, Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), 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.

At stock speeds the Crucial DDR-2 memory performs the same as the Samsung PC4200 DDR-2, which shouldn't be much of a surprise. Overclocking boosts Business Winstone 2002 scores just slightly.

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance. Higher numbers represent better performance.

At stock speeds the Crucial PC4200 DDR-2 memory has a bit more bandwidth than the Samsung PC4200 DDR-2 memory. When overclocked, the bandwidth increases about 400MB/s.
