DFI NT72-SA i850E Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
With Intel dropping support for RDRAM and adopting dual channel DDR for the Pentium 4, it's obvious that RDRAM will be soon be taking a less important role in the P4 mainboard markets.

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.

BapCo SysMark 2002 Benchmark Results
Internet Content (FSB/Memory) Sysmarks Ranking
1. GNB MAX Dual DDR - 133/266 372
3. NT72-SA - 133/1066 368
4. NT72-SA - 140/1120 385

Office Productivity (FSB/Memory)

1 GNB MAX Dual DDR - 133/266 187
2. NT72-SA - 133/1066 189
3. NT72-SA - 140/1120 196

As we can see, the NT72-SA is about the same speed as the MSI GNB MAX at stock speeds. When overclocked though, it beats both systems by about 5%.
