SYSmark2001 uses real world applications concurrently as an accurate way to test the system by following patterns that reflect the way real users work. SYSmark2001's workloads accurately represent today's updated business usage model. The benchmark runs at a realistic execution speed, with think times between application interactions, in order to emulate a desktop user's interaction with the operating system and applications. Higher numbers denote better performance.

As we can see here, the Shuttle AK35GTR Ver 2.2 with an AthlonXP 2100+ scores some very nice numbers. Surely you don't need a AthlonXP with the Shuttle AK35GTR to do office based applications though.

SysMark2002 is more of an extension of SysMark2001 rather then a whole new benchmark. The applications used during testing have been updated and most importantly for AMD users, the new SysMark2002 uses the Windows Media Encoder 7.1 which supports the AthlonXP's SSE instructions.

SysMark2002 is basically SysMark2001 with updated applications, as we can see, the AK35GTR Ver 2.2 performs very well when it is teamed up AthlonXP 2100+.

Winstone 2001 Source: Zdnet

Content Creation Winstone 2001 keeps multiple applications open at once and switches among those applications. Content Creation Winstone 2001's 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.

Business Winstone is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98 ME, Windows NT 4.0 (SP6 or later), Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP which 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.

Yet more office benchmarks and as you can see, the AK35GTR ver 2.2 performs very well again. It should be obvious, with no killer applications, you don't need a system like this to work with office applications, but it can't hurt either. ;)

Winbench 99 V1.2 Source: e-Testinglabs.com

WinBench 99 is a subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a PC's graphics, disk, and video subsystems in a Windows environment. WinBench 99's tests can run on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Me systems.

2a. High-End Disk - 165/330 MHz 15700
3. Business Graphics - 133/333 MHz 940

4. High-End Graphics - 133/333 MHz 1620
4a. High-End Graphics - 165/330 MHz 1790

As with the Soltek SL-75DRV5, we get some unusually low disk benchmarks again. The graphics portion of the benchmark seems to benefit from the added speed the AGP nets when overclocking.

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.
