I'm going to be honest here, I goofed with
AquaMark processor tests. I'll have to rebench the other boards in the
future. Overall at stock speeds the Asus K8V-DLX/WiFiB performs as we'd expect which is very good.
Quake III Arena is a First Person Shooter (FPS)
that revolutionized gaming as we know it. Using multiple light sources and
having graphics textures that can fill videocards.
