ContentCreation Winstone 2002

ContentCreation Winstone 2002 showed itself thoroughly unimpressed with respect to the memory configuration. The only situation where the score dropped was with a single 256 MB DIMM. It does not take a rocket scientist, though, to figure that this only reflects the higher amount of I/O transfers to the HDD in a lower memory configuration.

The difference between the two high scores is negligible, particularly since Winstone arbitrarily picks the highest score out of 5 runs

Sandra and Winstones are one thing, however, most enthusiasts are interested more in gaming and that is where the nForce2 is supposed to show its best.

3DMark2001SE

There is a minor difference but it is hardly worth talking about.

Comanche4

Comanche4 is the only benchmark that showed any performance improvement with two DIMMs over a single DIMM.
