Sysmark Business Productivity

Sysmark Internet Content Creation

We see in Sysmark the extra memory bandwidth doesn't play a super part, both chipsets perform on par.

Business Winstone

Business Winstone tests your computer's word processing, spreadsheet and presentation application ability using Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Both Content Creation and Business Winstone 2001 give you great examples of real-world performance.

Again, no great performance gap, as expected, simple business applications don't need a lot of resources.

Winstone Content Creation

Content Creation tests your computer's ability to create and manipulate images, webpages etc using real world programs such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver, then gives you an overall score.

In the Content Creation of Winstone we see a bit of a change. Winstone's content creation software is more memory dependant the Sysmarks and give a bit more of an idea that SiS 645DX does have the goods.
