PCMark2002
This new benchmark released by MadOnion checks the system with respect to multimedia performance and returns CPU, memory, and HDD scores. For some reasons, the hard disk performance did not return valid scores.
We don't have many data to compare these scores to, so we leave them "as is". One thing I would like to comment on is the almost exact scaling of the performance between 100 and 117 MHz. That is, if we take the scores achieved at 100 MHz and multiply them with 1.17, we end up almost precisely at the scores that we actually measure at 117 MHz FSB as shown below
Theory meets practice in PCMark2002 with scores almost perfectly proportional to the clock speed.
3DMark2001SE
One of the most brutal applications to check for system glitches or misconfigurations, 3DMark2001SE did, once again, not disappoint us. In the original BIOS configuration (1003), the system would not launch 3DMArk2001 SE but return this error:
Considering that the CPU in question is Intel's latest and greatest, this is actually funny.
As it turned out, the solution was to upgrade to the latest 1005 BIOS revision. After that, we did not encounter any further glitches.
3DMark2001SE scores at 100 MHz FSB (2.4 GHz CPU).
3DMark2001SE scores at 117 MHz FSB (2.8 GHz CPU). Since the video card is the limiting factor, there is no direct scaling visible.
