SYSmark® 2007 Preview is the latest version of the premier performance metric that measures and compares PC performance based on real world applications.

SYSmark® 2007 Preview extends the SYSmark family, which has been widely accepted by IT Managers, PC OEMs, press and analysts worldwide to support Windows® Vista™.

SYSmark 2007 Preview allows users to directly compare platforms based on Windows® Vista™ to those based on Windows® XP Professional and Home.

The new release also incorporates numerous new features and enhancements such as an improved GUI allowing streamlined start-up and run along with a heads-up-display (HUD) and automated error reporting.

SYSmark 2007 Preview is an application-based benchmark that reflects usage patterns of business users in the areas of Video creation, E-learning, 3D Modeling and Office Productivity. This new release includes a robust and refreshed set of applications.

SYSmark once again doesn't show us any difference between the three platforms. It's making us hard to recommend any one reference board over the other here, as they are all one and the same it seems.
