Jim, Re: "Of course YOU won't but tell me that Sysmark isn't optimized more for the P4 than the Celeron in other ways than just WME..." I'm sure it is. And why is that a bad thing? Software is being optimized for Pentium 4. I'll buy the argument that WME is not a popular application, despite being run in the background of most of the test suite, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the applications on the list are fairly popular, as well as the testing scenario. It seems a lot more realistic than Winstone 2001, IMHO. Internet Content Creation Scenario: In this scenario, a Web developer creates two web pages for an Extreme Sports company selling a Kayaking product. Images are manipulated in Photoshop and web animations created in Flash are used on a web page created by Dreamweaver. A Kayaking promotional video clip is assembled in Premiere. The page also has links to a video clip that was encoded using Windows Media Encoder. Adobe* Photoshop* 6.0 The user opens a high definition picture and runs a few sample filters, experiments with the size and orientation, changes pixel/inch ratio, fades the image, adds a border, saves the result image under jpeg format and prints the resultant image. Adobe* Premiere* 6.0 The user assembles a promotional video for a Kayaking product from stock footage. Various effects are added to make it compelling. The video is then exported in a compressed format. Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 The user creates two web pages for the online extreme sports company. The first page gives an overview of four kayaking products. The second page gives the details on a specific product. The Flash animation, Photoshop images and the encoded video are imported from the respective applications. Macromedia Flash 5 The user starts with an FLA file. The following operations are then performed: Step through the desired frames; go to the Library and locate the desired symbol to delete; Import and trace bitmaps; Flip and rotate images; Move, scale and group images. Finally export the movie. Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 7 The user takes a video clip and encodes it in the background. wanna_bmw
