Pricey Foundations: 9 Boards For The Pentium 4

Office Performance: Sysmark 2000 Patch 5

For the category "Office Performance" the MSI 850 Pro 2 takes the gold in the Sysmark 2000 discipline with 242 points. DFI hobbles along in the rear with 221 points.

MSI's high CPU clock speed is still not sufficient to push it to the top in the Quake 3 benchmark. The Asus P4T is somewhat faster.

Direct3D Performance: Unreal Tournament

In the Unreal Tournament benchmark we have the same placing: The Asus P4T is a nose-length ahead of the other candidates.
