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 MSI takes an expected lead. Now on to the 'bot matches.

Just as two heads are better than one, two channels are better than one. Just look at what happens with respect to performance when we go from single-channel DDR266 (i845E) to dual-channel DDR266 (E7205).

And now finishing with Quake III v1.30 1024x768x32 High Quality.

The Granite Bay motherboard finishes as it started, by taking each and every benchmark with relative ease.
