The PC Magazine Content Creation Winstone 2004 test utilizes the following applications in its benchmark:
- Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1
- Adobe Premiere 6.50
- Macromedia Director MX 9.0
- Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 6.1
- Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 9 Version 9.00.00.2980

If the results appear to be somewhat underwhelming, well then, we apologize. The truth is, the overall performance of the three systems are somewhat on par, RAM optimizations non-withstanding. Yes, there is a difference in the scores: the Shuttle doggedly remained in last with the Epox SFF system beating the Shuttle by a fraction in the Content Creation Winstone only, and the Asus P4P800 Deluxe trumped the other two in both tests. Claiming a clear cut victor, however, is meaningless when the performance delta separating the systems is 3 percent at best.
