Let's take a look at how our two boards
duke it out in a few runs of
Business and Content Creation Winstone, from ZD
eTesting Labs. These tests were run at both DDR333 and
the overclocked 182MHz FSB, giving us DDR364.

The Business
Winstone tests include:
-
Five Microsoft
Office 2000 applications (Access, Excel, FrontPage,
PowerPoint, and Word)
-
Microsoft
Project 98
-
Lotus Notes R5
-
NicoMak WinZip
-
Norton
Antivirus
-
Netscape
Communicator
Things are pretty much neck
and neck. The only big difference here is with the
default settings at DDR333. The Leadtek scored a
bit better, but probably within the margin of error.
Other than that these scores don't really pick a winner with
solid performances from both.
Content
Creation Winstone 2002 tests include:
- 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)
Here the Leadtek
takes the lead in both the overclocked and the default
settings. Again, we're probably seeing scores
here that are within the margin of error in these tests, but the Leadtek has managed to pull ahead
consistently.
