Image Editing w/ Photoshop
The latest Photoshop 6.0.1 patch supposedly provided enhancements for Intel's NetBurst architecture, making it the perfect addition to our suite of tests. Unfortunately this patch also caused our Dual Pentium III 933 platform to fail the Polar Coordinates conversion test which kept that system out of the final score.

Here the dual Xeon manages to complete all of the filters in less than 80% of the time of the single processor Xeon. Another interesting note worth making is that with the new 6.0.1 patch, the Athlon-C 1.2GHz processor is just about as fast as a Pentium 4/Xeon at 1.7GHz.
