Benchmarks: Winbench, Sandra

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.

MSI KT3 Ultra2-BR Score Ranking
1. Business Disk - 133/333 MHz 5250
1a. Business Disk - 180/360 MHz 5200
2. High-End Disk - 133/333 MHz 15600
2a. High-End Disk - 180/360 MHz 14900
3. Business Graphics - 133/333 MHz 765
3a. Business Graphics - 180/360 MHz 963
4. High-End Graphics - 133/333 MHz 1400
4a. High-End Graphics - 180/360 MHz 1680

Please remember that the HDD used in the disk benchmarks is a 80GB Samsung running 5400 RPM, that's why the scores are so low. As we can see, the AGP loves the higher FSB.

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.
