Black Beauty: AOpen AX6BC Pro II Millennium Edition

Benchmarks: SYSmark 2000 - Windows 98 SE

Under Windows NT, the black AOpen motherboard scores better than its competitors. Of course the difference is quite small, but it is good to see that there is still room for improvement - even though the chipset design is more than two years old.
