ScienceMark 2.0, Pifast
We'll run the iDEQ 200T with a standard Radeon 9800PRO for the 2D benchmarks and also with the onboard graphics for the gaming results.
Two Springdale-based SFF systems, a class-leading Canterwood board and the ever-so-impressive Athlon 3200+ / nForce3 150 Shuttle SN85G4 supply comparative benchmarks. The Biostar iDEQ 200T does just a little better than the comparable Shuttle, but is a little way behind the Canterwood board in this first memory test. That's pretty much were we would expect it to be. It runs the 3.2GHz CPU around 9MHz faster than both the Shuttle and Canterwood outfits.
Latency-wise, it's not too bad at all. Nothing can touch the on-die memory controller present on the Athlon 64 3200+, though. Latency and bandwidth will play a key part in the benchmarks that follow, so bear the above results in mind.
A decent showing in Pifast for a Springdale SFF PC. Decent bandwidth and low-latency access obviously help here. One can almost forget its a SFF system, the motherboard is more than capable of holding its own with any non-PAT-enabled full-size Springdale board.
