Athlon Motherboard Review

Business Application Performance Under Windows NT

Under Windows NT the FIC board shows it's stuff keeping up with the highly optimized AMD's Fester motherboard. You can see quite a difference in the scores under NT. Both the MSI and Gigabyte platforms fall way behind the competition. I believe this delta is due to less-aggressive memory timing. Another thing I find peculiar is that the two motherboards (K7M & SD11) that use VIA's southbridge are able to keep up with AMD's reference board.
