Test Setup
Performance Test Configuration | |
Processor(s): | AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (2.4GHz) Socket 939 |
RAM: | 2 x 512MB OCZ PC3200 Platinum Rev. 2 |
Hard Drive(s): | Seagate 120GB 7200 RPM SATA (8MB Buffer) |
Video AGP & IDE Bus Master Drivers: | NVIDIA nForce 6.56 |
Video Cards: | NVIDIA 6800 Ultra (PCIe) NVIDIA 6800 Ultra (AGP) |
Video Drivers: | NVIDIA nForce 77.72 |
Operating System(s): | Windows XP Professional SP2 Direct X 9.0c |
Motherboards: | ULi AP9567A (M1695/M1567) Abit AN8 Fatal1ty Biostar NF4UL-A9 Chaintech VNF4-Ultra DFI LANParty UT nF4 Ultra-D ECS KN1 Extreme Epox 9NPA+ Ultra Winfast NF4UK8AA (Foxconn) |
Tests used OCZ PC3200 Platinum Rev. 2, which uses Samsung TCCD chips. All memory ran at 2-2-2-10 timing in all benchmarks.
The NVIDIA 6800 Ultra was used for testing both PCIe and AGP performance on the ULi and Biostar boards. The 6800 Ultra video cards were tested at the same video timings and differed only in interface - AGP or PCIe. Resolution in all benchmarks is 1280x1024x32 unless noted otherwise.
Results for the ULi M1695/M1567 are color-coded red for PCIe and Orange for AGP in all graphs. Results for the other seven boards, all based on the nForce4 Ultra chipset, are in blue.

300HTT, AGP and PCIe on the same board without performance penalty, performance the same as NF4, and probably a cheaper chipset price due to being the underdog...sounds like ULi has something very promising on their hands. The only thing it seems to lack feature wise is gigabit LAN, but I don't care about that. Some may.Furen - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 - link
So cool, I want this ^^
