Benchmarks: Winstone 2004, Winbench 99

Winstone 2004 Source: Zdnet

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.

Business Winstone 2004:	Points	Ranking
Albatron K8X890 Pro II (K8T890 200/400)	27.3
MSI RS480M2-IL (RS480 200/400)	29.1
Chaintech Zenith VNF4 Ultra (NF4 Ultra 200/400)	30.3
DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR (NF4-SLI 200/400)	32.2
Epox 9NPA+ SLI (NF4 SLI 200/400)	31.2
Content Creation 2004:	Points	Ranking
Albatron K8X890 Pro II (K8T890 200/400)	36.2
MSI RS480M2-IL (RS480 200/400)	36.4
Chaintech Zenith VNF4 Ultra (NF4 Ultra 200/400)	39.5
DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR (NF4-SLI 200/400)	39.7
Epox 9NPA+ SLI (NF4 SLI 200/400)	39.6

The Winstone 2004 numbers are also quite good, but it would be a shame to use a motherboard like the Epox 9NPA+ SLI for solely workstation purposes. ;-)
