Advanced Visualizer
The Advanced Visualizer is one of six parts of the SPECview 6.1.2 benchmark suite. Running all six parts makes sense for graphics card reviews, but motherboard performance can be determined by running only one or two of them.
The DFI-Board is able to score a better result than the two others.
ProCDRS
ProCDRS requires a lot of memory bandwidth, CPU and graphics performance. Due to that, all boards work at their limits and the results are quite similar.
Conclusion
Once again, a motherboard review finished without a clear performance champion. The Epox EP-8K7A+ is the winner in terms of features, as it comes with ATA/100 RAID, a sound system and a debug module.
FIC's motherboard comes with a sound system, which has become standard today, but with only five PCI slots. Instead of the sixth one, this board has a CNR slot. FIC boards are usually available at attractive prices; if you can live without the extra fan header, you will get a good performer with nice software add-ons.
DFI reduced the AK76-SN to only the necessary components. There is no sound system, no RAID, no debug unit but a naked Athlon motherboard which did not cause any problems. Though it only finishes third in terms of features, it may be your first choice in terms of costs.
