AOpen AK79D-400 Max Motherboard Review
AOpen AK79D-400 Max Motherboard Review  - PCSTATS
The Ultra name may be more symbolic than descriptive, but I would expect a little extra performance over stock nForce 2 chipsets at the very least...

SysMark2002 is more of an extension of SysMark2001 rather then a whole new benchmark. The applications used during testing have been updated and most importantly for AMD users, the new SysMark2002 uses the Windows Media Encoder 7.1 which supports the AthlonXP's SSE instructions.

Here we see that the AOpen AK79D-400 Max is in the lead by a small margin when at stock speeds.

Winstone 2002 Source: Zdnet

Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP.

Business Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business Winstone doesn't mimic what these packages do; it runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance scores.

3. AK79D-400 Max - 166/333 48.5
4. AK79D-400 Max - 223/446 50.4

As with SysMark the AOpen AK79D-400 Max is fastest. I doubt you'll be able to notice the performance difference between the motherboards.
