* - the abit bg7 (i845g) was running at ddr333
mode but the board does not officially support it.
** - it is possible to run the msi gnb max with
one stick of memory. for comparison's sake I ran the board with
just 256MB of memory (one DIMM, sorry no 512MB sticks of memory
handy) to show how the board performs when running a lone stick of
memory.
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 GNB MAX when running in Dual DDR mode performs, at about the same level as an
i850E/RDRAM based motherboard. When using a single DIMM, performance is under
that of the i845G running at DDR333
mode.
