Mega Test: 14 Boards with KT266A and nForce 420D

MP3 Audio Encoding: Lame MP3

The Lame MP3 Encoder under Windows XP is used to convert a 178 MB sound file from a WAV format to a "MPEG-1 Layer 3" format. In this test, both boards based on the nForce chipset come out on top.

MPEG-4 Video Encoding: Flask Mpeg And Divx

Again, both nForce boards have pummeled their KT266A challengers.
