Video Encoding and Photo Editing
DivX 6.1 with XMPEG 5.03

Windows Media Encoder 9 Take Two
This version of the test is part of the World Bench suite of tests and encodes a smaller video.
VideoWave Movie Creator 1.5
This World Bench test simulates creating a video from home movies.
Adobe Premiere 6.5
A more professional level benchmark, here World Bench is simulating more content creation in video and audio format.
Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1
This incredibly popular image editing software is used in World Bench to simulate common image manipulation techniques.
The AW9D-MAX wins out in the majority of the benchmarks here as well. This can also be attributed to the superior performance of the 975X enthusiast chipset.
