Performance
Take a look at the benchmark charts to get a better impression of the boards' performance. When reading about excellent, good, average or mediocre, please take into account that the difference between the fastest and the slowest board (except Shuttle) is about 12-13% regarding the SYSmark runs and between 25 and 30% for the game benchmarks.
As power gamer, speed freak or professional user you should take a closer look at the benchmarks. If standard office applications won't show any differences, you should concentrate on your favorite features.
Reliability
A board is excellent if there was not one single issue during my tests. Good boards did cause max. two minor problems which are not important, e.g. stability issues with a heavily overclocked CPU or hang ups at hardcore timing settings. Mediocre means that I faced at least three hang ups or blue screens. Poor boards did not even complete at least one benchmark run.
