At stock
speeds the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum scores pretty well, not quite as high as the
VIA K8T800 Pro motherboards, but pretty close.
PCMark04
is the latest version of the popular PCMark series. PCMark04 is an
application-based benchmark and a premium tool for measuring overall PC performance. It uses portions of real
applications instead of including very large applications or using specifically
created code. This allows PCMark04 to be a smaller installation as well as to
report very accurate results.

very fast Athlon64 motherboards!
