The GNB Max is a good board by its own right, but if your computing situation demands more of a heavy-hitter then todays review of the MSI E7205 Master-L could be just what the doctor ordered.

* - the
abit bg7 (i845g) was running at ddr333 mode but the board does not officially
support it. ** - the adaptec aic7892 is an ultra160 scsi controller while the seagate
cheetah st39204lw is an ultra scsi wide hdd.
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.
It seems
like the E7205 Master-L is a tad slower then the GNB MAX (Granite Bay) and
NT72-SA (i850E).
