The Apple iMac could not run our Windows-based tests and thus is not included here. Bold type denotes first place. Low scores are best.
High scores are best.
Not surprisingly, this feature factored heavily in our benchmark test results. These chip sets do not use a separate frame buffer, and that forces the graphics chip to share bandwidth with the CPU and DMA transfers. The Compaq Presario 5000, Dell Dimension L800r, and Gateway Essential 667c all use the Intel 810E chip set. Display cache does not necessarily improve a PC's performance on Content Creation Winstone or Business Winstone, because these tests do not challenge the PC's 3-D capabilities. The Micron Millennia MAX GS couldn't run Business Winstone and Content Creation Winstone, even after we updated the graphics drivers as Micron suggested.
