21 Slot-1 Motherboards using VIA Chipsets

The Benchmarks: SYSmark 2000 - Windows NT 4.0

You will notice that four scores are missing: The Eüpa board caused several hang-ups. Each board got several chances, even with absolutely reduced timings and BIOS settings. It seems as if they're having some other problem.

The differences between the candidates are smaller under Windows NT. Now all 693A motherboards do score exactly the same result, while the differences among the 694X community are still present.

Again, the Asus board clearly takes the lead.
