Benchmarking

Before we benchmark, we document the FSB the board is running at. The SiS 748 reference board is a bit on the high side. Do bear that in mind when comparing results of the boards as a higher FSB usually will impact the benchmarks in one way or another. ASrock K7S8X-E is registered at 200.97MHz and the EPoX 8RDA3+ is at 200.46 MHz. Gigabyte 7NNXP runs at 200.45MHz and DFI is at 200.47. Gigabyte 7VT600-1394 is at 200.9Mhz, DFI 748-AL is at a very exact 200.45MHz. The M1687 Reference Board runs exactly at 200.00MHz FSB. Gigabyte K8NNXP runs at 201 (old BIOS with 3100+) and 200MHz (new BIOS with 3200+). GA-K8VNXP also runs at 200.00MHz FSB and Biostar K8VHA Pro runs at 200.4MHz, a bit higher than most boards. The iDEQ200P runs at 199.5MHz which is half a megahertz lower. The SiS 755 Ref board is set to run at 199.99MHz. ABIT KV8-MAX 3 runs at a default of 200.5MHz. ASUS K8V Deluxe runs at 200.3MHz. SOYO K8USA runs at 200.4MHz in our test.

In the comparison, DFI 748-AL, ASRock K7S8X-E and SiS 748 Reference board is running 1 x 512M Corsair XMS3500C2 Stick at CAS 2, 5-2-2. The Gigabyte 7VT600-1394 runs CAS 2, 6-2-2. EPoX 8RDA3+ is running 2 x 256M Corsair TWINX512-2700LLPT at CAS 2, 5-2-2.

It is to my surprise that I see such a high score of 3119/3101 on this board. As we can see the FSB is at 200.4 which is the same as the BIOSTAR K8T800 board. This is really amazingly high. Well, lets see if that is reflective in other benchmarks that we are going to test in the next few pages.
