UT2004 likes the AOpen n250a-FR motherboard quite a bit,
and its framerates are not much lower than its more expensive dual channel DDR
Socket 939 cousins.
Doom 3 is
the most advanced game to date. it takes advantage of the latest videocard
technology and pushes the processing power of the CPU to its absolute limit. At
its highest setting, Ultra quality, texture sizes pass the 500MB mark which
means even tomorrow's videocards will have a hard time running everything. The
frame rates in the game itself are locked at 60 fps so anything above that point
is wasted. Each test is run three times with the third run being
recorded.

In our final benchmark the AOpen n250a-FR motherboard
does very well for itself despite being tied for having the slowest specs. In
fact the motherboard is nipping at the heels of the higher end Socket 939
systems!
