FutureMark's PCMark 2002 |

One of the more
popular all-in-one utilities for quickly gauging system
performance is PCMark2002Pro. This application
performs a total of 62 tests to stress and benchmark a
system's complete subsystem from CPU and Memory performance
to Hard Drive and Bus efficiency. When the test is
complete, a score is given for the three major components of
the system; CPU, Memory and Hard Drive.
With CPU and
Memory scores, both systems turned in similar scores with
the SiS655FX taking a subtle lead with its more aggressive
timings. Ultimately, as the scores show, it's anyone's
game at this point. In this case, the tie breaker lies
with the hard drive scores.
When it comes to
data transfer across the EIDE channels, the advantage
clearly lies with the SiS655FX and its "muTIOL" I/O
technology.

FutureMark's 3DMark03 & 3DMark 2001SE |

Another test we
like to run with motherboard reviews is 3DMark2001SE.
While the video card used is irrelevant, the test does
reflect a score that a lot if people are quite familiar with
as well as helping to access AGP performance.
This time around
we have to give the lead to the Intel based motherboard with
1.3% edge which is negligible in the big picture.
Lastly we ran the CPU module 3DMark03 to isolate CPU
performance.
Once again, the
scores were very close with the Intel 865PE system posting a
mere 5 point lead. Next we'll shift to some real world
gaming tests followed by application testing with the
Winstones.
