ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket M2 Upgradable Motherboard Review
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket M2 Upgradable Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
Both the Socket M2 AMD processor and the necessary ASRock daughter card are not currently available, but the CPU is expected in Q2 of 2006 so the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 is certainly forward-looking.

Benchmarks: 3DMark2001, 3DMark05

3DMark2001 Source: FutureMark

By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, 3DMark 2001 SE continues to provide a good overall system benchmark. 3DMark2001 SE was created in co-operation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

3DMark2001SE:
Motherboards: Points Ranking
Albatron K8X890 Pro II (K8T890 200/400) 27712
MSI RS480M2-IL (RS480 200/400) 26165
Chaintech Zenith VNF4 Ultra (NF4 Ultra 200/400) 27900
DFI LANParty NF4 SLI-DR (NF4 SLI 200/400) 27963
ECS KN1 Extreme SLI (NF4 SLI 200/400) 28311
Epox 9NPA+ SLI (NF4 SLI 200/400) 27941
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 (Uli M1695 200/400 7800GTX) 27316
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 (Uli M1695 200/400 GeForce 6800 AGP) 22897

3DMark2001 numbers are pretty good and it's nice to see that running the AGP videocard does not degrade performance all that much in reality.

3DMark05 is the latest version of the highly favoured 3DMark graphics benchmarking series. It is the first benchmark to require DirectX®9.0 compliant hardware with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 or higher.

ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 (Uli M1695 200/400 GeForce 6800 AGP) 4874

3DMark05 numbers are very good as well, goes to show you that a budget motherboard can still be fast in the 3D world with a PCI Express videocard.
