PCMark 2002 was released a couple of years ago by Madonion (now Futuremark) the makers of 3DMark. It allows users to benchmark their Hard Drive, Memory and Processor under a variety of tests which are designed to show how the system will perform in home and office tasks.

 

 

Some excellent results from the Alienware, despite the single channel memory the scores are high for single channel. The newer hard drive architecture which uses an 8mb cache shows a good improvement over the desktop model without the cache and finally despite the same CPU speed the alienware cpu scores almost 100 points more, showing some benefits that the SIS chipset gives to the P4 architecture.

Next: Aquamark 3
