This is an upgrade for Sandra 2003 Standard Edition. I wonder what you get "extra" if you buy the Pro Edition? Anyone?

I think you get access to the rest of the modules and benchmarks, as well as the ability to get live updates for benchmarking purposes. I refuse to pay for a benchmark, so I don't know for sure.

That's right...it's just access to the extra module....I doubt you get anything extra with the pro version 2003 to 2003 SP1 upgrade than you do with the standard version 2003 to 2003 SP1 upgrade....I could be wrong though....

Sortof related question regarding the last 2 versions of Sandra. When I install it, it appears to go fine, when I run it it gives me an error "Could not initialize database! Make sure the file is ok; install latest MDAC." This is on multiple Fresh Win98SE installs and also Win2k SP1 installs. Any Ideas???

Nevermind, I thought the MDAC was something to do with SiSoft, It is actually a microsoft thing:eek:

Thanks,

Anybody know if there is a 2003 Pro version. I have a 2002 Pro but the upgrade wizard shows no available update and it is the only way to upgrade the pro version?

Thanks

Yes, there is a Pro 2003 Edition out. That's why I asked about the differences between them...

Darn, I still can't read the SPD data off of my RAM - it usually shows it in the Motherboard Information module; guess it doesn't support that function on the nForce2 yet.
