PCMark can be used on desktop PC's,
Laptops and even Workstations and tests everyday computing from
home to office usage. PCMark specifically stresses the CPU, memory subsystem,
graphics subsystem, hard drives, WindowsXP GUI (if WinXP is used),
video performance and even laptop batteries.
Is it any
surprise that all the motherboards perform pretty much the same at stock
speeds?
By combining DirectX8 support with completely new
graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 SE
has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor
manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite
demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming
technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests
include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and
Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and
Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics. Higher
3DMark scores denote better performance.

It seems as
if the 3D performance of the Soltek SL-K8AN-RL is just a tad slower than the VIA
K8T800 equipped
motherboards.
