In SYSmark2004 the AOpen i915Pa-PLF motherboard scores very well and is only slightly slower than the higher end 925X/XE solutions. However, keep in mind that the 925XE can support 1066MHz FSB chips, which were not used in these tests to keep things even. Workstation users would definitely not notice the difference between platforms under our 3.2GHz 800MHz P4 test platform.
