Content Creation Winstone 2002 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.

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.

The benchmark results are much closer in the Winstone 2002, and again we see that the two nForce2 motherboards perform pretty identically.

It seems like nVIDIA has boosted their HDD performance a bit with the new MCP southbridge! Everything else is in line with what we'd expect from an nForce2-based system.
