Winstones
Winstones are still the classical performance suite even though there are some severe doubts about the validity of running office applications as performance metrics for any high end system.
Business Winstone2002
We ran Business Winstone 2002 on all three different controllers, that is, both the onboard VIA and the Promise Controller and, in addition, the PCI card-based SiliconImage SATA controller card. Interestingly, the Promise controller scores highest despite being a bridge solution, however, keep in mind that the I/O performance is offset by the write performance, moreover, the SiliconImage controller used is a PCI card with the associated additional latencies, therefore, is running with a handicap to begin with. The VIA controller comes in last. Despite the fact that we only used a single drive whereas the competition was running on RAID Level0 configurations, the K8V Athlon64 3200+ captures a highly respectable second place.

The K8V-Athlon64 combo is about on par with the Pentium4 at 3.2 GHz. We ran this benchmark only on the VIA controller.
