Testing
For the first round of testing,
I'll be sticking to just some basic tests with SiSoft Sandra at default speeds.
This will give you an idea of what to expect from this board right out of the
box.
200MHz FSB x 16 (Default)
CPU Arithmetic Benchmark
200MHz FSB x 16 (Default)
CPU Multi-Media Benchmark
200MHz FSB x 16 (Default)
Memory Bandwidth Benchmark
In every
Sandra bench, the VIA PT880 based Soltek board lagged behind the i875 based
boards. Most noticeably in memory bandwidth. I tried every tweak setting in the
bios, but the results never topped the i875.
