DFI AK74SC Motherboard Review

SiSoft Sandra Pro, and CPU benchmarks.

All in all what you'd expect, roughly equivalent to the baseline 700Mhz Duron system.

Again, no surprises, the motherboard/CPU is performing as it should, dead on the baseline Duron system.

The memory bandwidth tests actually look quite good, especially considering I was testing with a stick of PC100 (my stick of Godly Muskin PC150 was being used elsewhere when I ran the benchmarks). With PC133, performance should be significantly improved beyond this already decent number. An impressive showing.

3D-Mark 2000. Standard Benchmark.

Here is again, about what you'd expect to see 3Dmark-wise with this CPU/Video card combination. No surprises, with the P3 having about a 3% lead.

Quake3 Arena v1.25y beta point release Timedemo demo000 (note: this is a new demo included with this beta point release).

These numbers are damn near spot on with the P3, with the Duron losing a wee bit of ground at lower resolutions, but gaining momentum as the resolution and bandwidth requirements increase, as is typical of the EV6 DDR system bus. All in all solid numbers are to be had here.
