Please take note that there is no IAA available for this new chipset and the current IAA downloaded from Intel site can't be installed for Springdale boards. We have received news that a IAA is being planned for it for IDE. The current edition of IAA is meant for SATA RAID.

Before you read the graphs, we have to explain the colour codes.

White : nForce2 chipset, AXP3000+, CAS2, 5-2-2 (AMD platform)
Blue : Intel 865PE chipset, P4 3.0C, CAS2, 5-2-2 (Intel platform)
Red : Intel 875P chipset, P4 3.0C, CAS2, 5-2-2 (Intel platform)
Green: Intel 845PE chipset, P4 3.0C, CAS2, 5-2-2 (Intel platform)

Again, we see that the bars in Red which are the Canterwood boards. From the chart, the ABIT IS7-G is really impressive scoring a high of 46.2, this is even higher than most of the Canterwood offerings. Surprised? Looks like the new BIOS which has enabled the secret behind is very much faster than boards that hasn't got the bios hacked.

On Business Winstone 2001, it seems that IAA on the ABIT BH7 speeds things up. All Springdale/Canterwood boards performs at around 70 marks which is 10 marks slower on the average. Hopefully a new IAA for Canterwood IDE will boost the performance upwards. The IS7-G seems to have a high score than most Canterwood and Springdale scoring 73.6. This is real cool!
