PCMark can be used on desktop PC's, Laptops and even Workstations and tests everyday computing from home to office usage. PCMark specifically stresses the CPU, memory subsystem, graphics subsystem, hard drives, WindowsXP GUI (if WinXP is used), video performance and even laptop batteries.

PCMark loves the Intel P4, that should be pretty evident here. In the memory portion of the benchmark the Athlon64 and Albatron K8X800 Pro II do very well for each other despite only having half the bandwidth.

By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

2. AXP 3200+/Albatron KX18DProII (200/400) 18057
3. A64 3200+/MSI K8T Neo (200/400) 20322
4. A64 3200+/Albatron K8X800ProII (200/400) 20072
5. A64 3200+/Albatron K8X800ProII (245/407) 20416

I'm a bit surprised to see that the MSI K8T Neo performs so much faster then the Albatron K8X800 Pro II. I ran the test several times and the Albatron board always scored the same. I think MSI may have tweaked their board for 3DMark as I also have an Epox 8HDA3+ and it scores around the same as the Albatron K8X800 Pro II.
