The Performance Test

In recent times, choosing a motherboard cannot be completely determined by a Winstone score. Now, many boards come within one Winstone point of each other and therefore the need to benchmark boards against each other falls. Therefore you should not base your decision entirely on the benchmarks you see here, but also on the technical features and advantages of this particular board, seeing as that will probably make the greatest difference in your overall experience.

    On the Acorp 6A815EPD page, there is a misspelling:

    largeer

    Just search for it ;)

    Oh, and don't ask me why I'm actually reading such an old article :P

    I had one of these and a cool thing about it was that the CPUs didn't have to be the same speed.
