Benchmarks III

A build of Unreal Tournament 2003 should give the motherboards a workout. We've set the detail to maximum. Sound, as always, has been disabled so as not to colour the results. First the flybys at 1024x768x32.

The i845PE-based motherboards retain their advantage, again. Now on to the more system-limited bot matches.

About a 5% improvement from the i845E to the i845PE, both with HT support.

Finishing off the benchmarking run with a drag race. Quake III v1.30 at 1024x768x32 high quality settings. This may have taxed graphics cards a couple of years ago, but now it's more of a system test.

Even though it comes last, the 308 FPS posted by the MAX i845E is hardly slow.
