PCMark2002 Benchmarking

Older test results:

List of benchmarking software
Old game machine scores
Scores for my RAID5 server
Asus A7N8X w/ Athlon XP 2600+ CPU

So these are the scores from last February... I should see similar scores since I'm re-running the same tests as before. (Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, 1Gb PC2700 DDR, 128Mb nVidia Ti4600 AGP, Athlon XP 2600+)

CPU: 6300
MEM: 4116
HDD: 442

My old Athlon XP 1800+ game machine:

CPU: 4500
MEM: 3000
HDD: 550

Scores from this test:

CPU: 6125 (Athlon XP 2600+)
Memory: 4353 (single-mode)
HDD: 998 (using a single 160Gb ATA/100 5400rpm 2Mb cache)

If I switch the memory from single-mode to dual-channel mode (moved the sticks to slot 1 and 3), I get the following values:

CPU: 6160
Mem: 4351
HDD: 910

Odd that... pretty much identical scores. MemTest86 shows that dual-channel mode is active (1182MB/s vs 734MB/s in the single-channel configuration). But I have seem rumors that the nForce2 chipset doesn't get much of a boost from DDR mode.
