MSI E7205 Master-L Workstation Motherboard Review
MSI E7205 Master-L Workstation Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
The GNB Max is a good board by its own right, but if your computing situation demands more of a heavy-hitter then todays review of the MSI E7205 Master-L could be just what the doctor ordered.

Benchmarks: Winstone 2002, Winbench 99

Winstone 2002 Source: Zdnet

Content Creation Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running top, Windows-based, 32-bit, content creation applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP.

Business Winstone 2002 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall performance when running today's top-selling Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98, Windows 2000 (SP6 or later), Windows Me, or Windows XP. Business Winstone doesn't mimic what these packages do; it runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance scores.

Winstone 2002 Benchmark Results
Content Content (FSB/Memory) Score Ranking
1. BG7 - 133/333 36.7
2. NT72-SA - 133/1066 38.7
3. GNB MAX - 133/266 40.9
4. E7205 Master-L - 133/266 41.1

Business Winstone (FSB/Memory)

1 BG7 - 133/333 27.8
2. NT72-SA - 133/1066 29.9
3. GNB MAX - 133/266 31.4
4. E7205 Master-L - 133/266 32

In the Winstone benchmarks, the E7205 Master-L posts the fastest results in both Content Creation and Business Winstone. The RDRAM-based DFI NT72-SA is left in the dust... perhaps making the Granite Bay chipset the final nail in the RDRAM coffin.

Winbench 99 V1.2 Source: e-Testinglabs.com

WinBench 99 is a subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a PC's graphics, disk, and video subsystems in a Windows environment. WinBench 99's tests can run on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Me systems.

WinBench 99 v1.2 Benchmark Results
MSI E7205 Master-L Score Ranking
1. Business Disk - 133/266 5790
2. High-End Disk - 133/266 16600
3. Business Graphics - 133/266 913
4. High-End Graphics - 133/266 1950

I'm not really sure why the disk portion of the benchmarks are so low especially considering we're using SCSI.
