Application: Winstones, Sysmark 2004 and Webmark 2004
All three motherboards again perform very similarly, with the Asus motherboard slightly edging out the Abit and Intel motherboards. The Abit AA8 DuraMAX is still very competitive out running the Intel board and coming in just behind the Asus motherboard in terms of scores. We are seeing a 1-2% performance difference here and that fits in with the 1-2% advantage the Asus motherboard has in bus speed.
