Van gave precise directions for getting at what sysmark was actually doing in vanshardware.com

How-to Really Unlock SysMark

As I wrote above, Tom is not very "technical" and the instructions he gave to unlock SysMark, are predictably incorrect.

Specifically, the commandline instructions necessary to run SysMark 2002 contain the same typographic error sent to all reviewers (so much for Tom's editing).

Here are the two corrected commandlines:

For Internet Content Creation, from the "Run" dialog enter:

sysmgr -NOREBOOT -ICCSUITE=1 PROJNAME=icchacked

For Office Productivity, from the "Run" dialog enter:

sysmgr -NOREBOOT -OPSUITE=1 PROJNAME=ophacked

The actual project names are not important.

The key to "unlocking" SysMark 2001/2002 is to cause it to halt immediately prior to completion. SysMark logs the results from the individual tests in the temporary file "c:\Program Files\BAPCo\SysMark2002\Reports\_measurement.txt".

By adding the bogus command "die" to the end of the execution scripts "SEQUENCE.txt" (one for each suite) you force SysMark to generate an error and halt, exposing "_measurement.txt" for examination.

Somehow, I find his analysis more convincing than self-serving blather by Intel employees.
