While the overall score is ok, the CPU portion of the test scores low. Hopefully this is due to drivers. If it is, performance should improve as the platform matures.

With AMD we're seeing some rather impressive results from the ECS PF88 Extreme! It's able to keep up with the nForce4 platforms which is very nice to see.
