Benchmarking

ZD Content Creation 2002

Content Creation Winstone 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. Content Creation Winstone 2002 uses the following applications:

• Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1
• Adobe Premiere 6.0
• Macromedia Director 8.5
• Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4
• Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 7.01.00.3055
• Netscape Navigator 6/6.01
• Sonic Foundry Sound Forge 5.0c (build 184)

Following the lead of real users, Content Creation Winstone 2002 keeps multiple applications open at once and switches among those applications. Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a single large test that runs the above applications through a series of scripted activities and returns a single score. Those activities focus on what we call "hot spots," periods of activity that make your PC really work--the times where you're likely to see an hourglass or a progress bar.

The ASUS P4B533-E's performance in CC Winstone2002 is a bit on the low. Comparing the various boards, an average of 37.0 is obtained by most i845E boards running at 133.33Mhz. Gigabyte on the other hand scores 37.3 (fsb is set to 133.9Mhz).
