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's memory score is very good when overclocked,
we see a nice performance boost due to the higher clocks here. Overall it does
not do much for the system however.
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.

The overall score is flat.... however in the memory
portion of PCMark05 we see a decent boost in memory numbers.
By
combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, 3DMark 2001 SE
continues to provide a good overall system benchmark. 3DMark2001 SE was created
in co-operation 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
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.

Remember the CPU speed is approximately the same, but a
1000 point boost due to memory overclocking is pretty good.
