Quick and Quiet: Pentium M Desktop Boards by AOpen and DFI
Windows XP Professional, Build 2600,Service Pack 1
We did not bother to do benchmarks using the integrated graphics twice, since there are no technical differences here, and not much 3D performance to be expected in any event. We ran both platforms using an ATI Radeon X800 Pro AGP, which also powered our AMD reference system with the Athlon64 Winchester 3200+. We decided to use this particular processor since it works at the same clock speed as our Pentium M 755 (2.0 GHz). Thanks to the 90 nm process, AMD managed to reduce the thermal loss considerably.
