      Content Creation Winstone 2004 
is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 
32-bit, content creation applications in Windows XP.
Business Winstone 2004 runs real 
applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC 
takes to complete these activities to produce its performance 
scores.

Both Winstone 2004 tests show slightly slower performance 
from the ASRock K8 Combo-Z/ASR.  Again the motherboard does quite well against 
the competition when using an equivalent processor.

Well!  These Hard drive scores are quite 
impressive; it looks like ALi did good work 
in this area. In both Business disk and high end disk tests, the 
ALi M1689 based ASRock K8 Combo-Z/ASR comes out ahead by a lot!  The motherboard 
also scored right in the middle
