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.

Unfortunately, the Samsung HDD doesn't perform very well
here in this benchmark that's why the disk scores are so low (but it is a
damn quiet drive and that almost makes up for this small shortcoming). As usual, the
graphics portion of the benchmark appreciates the extra bandwidth available when overclocking.

Since
there is no CPU overclock it's not surprising that the CPU scores are all about
the same. We're a bit surprised at the memory bandwidth though. At the default
setting of 133/400 it's about the same as KT333 based motherboards. One thing is
for certain, as it stands AMD processors do not get much if
any
performance boost when given more bandwidth. The bus speed is
just too low....
