Benchmarking

We conduct the usual tests on the setup with the following configuration :

Test System:

AMD AthlonXP 1500+ and Thermoengine heatsink/fan
IBM 15G 7200RPM ATA100 HD
AOPEN 40X CDROM
MSI Geforce3 Ti200 Graphics card
Nanya DDR333 256MB DDR
Channelwell 375W AMD Approved PSU

Summary

Based on the AthlonXP1500+

Update : With the new BIOS, the scores are better. Old scores are in brackets. Looks like the fastest score is now at 1m27s which is on par with the Shuttle AK35GTR v2.2

1m 30s seems to be the average of most boards tested so far. MSI KT3 Ultra has a better score of 1'28" at DDR333 mode.
