Foxconn WinFast 6150K8MA Mainboard 

Super Pi is a program that calculates the value of Pi to a certain number of digits and measuring the time it takes to do so.  Here we looking at a arguable practical application and how well our boards deal with it.  The scores below are the number of seconds taken to calculate Pi to the two millionth digit.

Our next two benchmarks are more synthetic in nature but valid and very practical to gauge performance.  Both of these are modules of SiSoft Sandra 2005 Pro's benchmarking suite.  The first is the Multimedia Benchmark that measures how well a machine handles multimedia instructions.

The other Sandra bench we have is the memory bandwidth bench that is recorded in a MB/sec score.  The onboard video drain on the system is very obvious here.
