As we alluded to before, the performance difference between the i-Buddie XP and the Presario 900 are much smaller in the Internet Content Creation portion of SYSMark 2002. The two systems differed by only 1%, making the difference negligible at best.

Our final 2D benchmark, Content Creation Winstone 2002, showed little difference between the Radeon IGP 320M and the SiS 740. Performance of the ECS i-Buddie XP 1500+ and the Compaq Presario 1500+ differed by 4%. Like we mentioned before, this proves that the large performance difference between the two chips that we observed in the Office Productivity benchmark is not a result of the hard drives. Instead the difference is likely due to the fact that the i-Buddie XP uses the desktop SiS 740 northbridge.
