Intel introduced the i865PE/i875P chipsets over a year ago, the Pentium 4 overclocking changed, but many enthusiasts seem to have forgotten that the rules stayed the same.

Winstone 2002 Source: Zdnet

Business Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business Winstone doesn't mimic what these packages do; it runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance scores.

2x 512MB OCZ PC3500EB Plat (230/460)

36.3

Business Winstone appreciates tighter memory timings that's why the Corsair TwinX4400PT comes in last on both platforms. The OCZ PC3500EB Platinum does very well for itself, just a tad slower than the OCZ PC3200 Platinum Limited Edition which is very good.

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance. Higher numbers represent better performance.

2x 512MB OCZ PC33500EB Platinum (230/460) 5517 5524

The OCZ PC3500EB memory does very well for itself here in Sandra, both the AMD and Intel test systems get a nice performance boost due to overclocking.
