Benchmarks: PCMark04, PCMark05

PCMark04 Source: FutureMark

PCMark04 is an application-based benchmark and a premium tool for measuring overall PC performance. It uses portions of real applications instead of including whole applications or using specifically created code. This allows PCMark04 to maintain a smaller installation size while still giving accurate results.

PCMark04 numbers are very close. Overclocking does not increase the overall score one bit. Like with Sandra, it does however add about 10% to the memory score though.

PCMark05 is a premium tool for measuring both normal home use and simple 3D performance of the latest PC hardware. There are 11 system tests - each one is designed to represent a certain type of PC usage. By running these tests, PCMark05 stresses the components in a similar manner as they are stressed in normal home usage.

2x 512MB OCZ PC3500 Gold GX DC (250/500) 4559

The overall score hovers around the same with all configurations, not surprising considering the processor is running virtually the same speed. The memory portion of PCMark05 does get a decent boost but a bit smaller than we saw with the earlier benchmarks.
