Abit IS7-G i865PE Motherboard Review
Abit IS7-G i865PE Motherboard Review  - PCSTATS
Who could forget great motherboards like the BH6, BE6-II and BX-133? How about the more recent TH7II, BD7 or ABIT IT7 MAX2 Rev2 for the Pentium 4 processor?

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.

7. Pentium 4 3.0C/Abit i865PE (237/379) 275

Like we've seen with the other i865PE motherboard reviews, they all perform about the same. The MSI i875P is just slightly faster but the end user would not notice the difference here.

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.

7. Pentium 4 3.0C/Abit i865PE (237/379) 51.4

Business Winstone (FSB/Memory)

1 Pentium 4 3.0C/AOpen i875P (200/400) 34.7
2. Pentium 4 3.0C/MSI i875P (200/400) 34.3
3. Pentium 4 3.0C/AOpen i865PE (200/400) 33.7
4. Pentium 4 3.0C/Albatron i865PE (200/400) 33.5
5. Pentium 4 3.0C/MSI i865PE (200/400) 33.5
6. Pentium 4 3.0C/Abit i865PE (200/400) 33.3
7. Pentium 4 3.0C/Abit i865PE (237/379) 36.5

For SysMark, all the i865PE based motherboards perform about the same which is good. Once overclocked, the Abit has a healthy lead despite running the memory slower then the FSB.
