MPEG-4 Encoding Performance - 'Sum of All Fears' Ch. 9

The EPoX EP-9U1697 GLi is very competitive in the synthetic benchmarks with scores consistently near the top. Of course, the largest spread in PCMark05 is only 3.5%, which means that in real-world use you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between any of these boards without running benchmarks. The combination of the ULi M1697 chipset and Epox's BIOS capabilities has resulted in a very cost-friendly, performance-oriented solution. Our encoding tests will soon change to the DivX 6.1 codec and additional multimedia tasks.

    Another very small quirk: page 7 3rd graph shows latency - lower is better - but the boards are still ordered like higher is better..

    hmm and apparantly all the audio utilization graphs as well :) And since we're still at it, since for storage performance differs only from southbridge to southbridge and not from board to board, it might ease up those graphs to just display one representative for each + the board in review.

    Er sorry, forgot to mention you said DDR2.
