Benchmarks: Winstone 2002, Winbench 99

Winstone 2002 Source: Zdnet

Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP.

Business Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business Winstone doesn't mimic what these packages do; it runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance scores.

Things are very close here in the Winstone 2002 benchmarks. It shouldn't be much of a surprise though with the memory controller built into the Athlon64 processor.

The NF3 150's HDD performance is quite impressive! The ABIT KV8 MAX3 does pretty well for itself here compared to the other K8T800 mobo's.
