Application: DivX, MP3 and Data Compression
XMPEG 5.03 and DivX 5.1.1
The improved SATA support on the Asus motherboard is what gives the CT-479 at 2.0 GHz its edge in the WinRAR test over the DFI motherboard, though the other tests show the two performing right on par with each other. The 2.6 GHz overclocked setup is able to beat the best from AMD in the DivX encoding, but its lack of HyperThreading keeps it out of the high end P4 territory. In the MP3 encoding space, it actually turns in the fastest score, a full 13 seconds faster than the FX-55 processor.
