PCMark 04

ABIT AG8 Socket 775 Motherboard Review - Motherboards 49

ABIT AG8 (i915P) – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Chaintech V915P (i915P) – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Intel i915P with DDR2 – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR2

VIA K8T800 Pro – Athlon 64 3200+ (754 pin), 1GB DDR

NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra400 – Athlon XP3200+, 1GB DDR

All three Intel 915P systems perform equally in this benchmark. This would imply that general computer productivity is equal across all three systems.

Business and Multimedia Winstone

ABIT AG8 Socket 775 Motherboard Review - Motherboards 50

ABIT AG8 (i915P) – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Chaintech V915P (i915P) – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Intel i915P with DDR2 – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR2

VIA K8T800 Pro – Athlon 64 3200+ (754 pin), 1GB DDR

NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra400 – Athlon XP3200+, 1GB DDR

In Multimedia Content Creation Winstone, we see very little difference in the results. This would imply that for media production (Photoshop, Premiere, etc.), you can take your pick of board and the performance difference will be negligible.

As for Business Winstone, the Asus P5GD2 has the top spot thanks to the DDR2 memory. Surprisingly the ABIT AG8 performs at the bottom of the heap along with the Chaintech V915P.
