The Soltek SL-K8TPro-939 does quite well in 3DMark04. It comes in third just by a bit, lagging only the other K8T800Pro system and the Nforce 4.

AquaMark3 Source: Massive Development

AquaMark3 is a powerful tool to determine reliable information about the gaming performance of computer systems. Because the benchmark extensively utilizes DirectX9, DirectX8 and DirectX7 functionality, it represents the requirements of typical gaming applications in 2003 and 2004.

It should be obvious that the Soltek SL-K8TPro-939 is a pretty quick motherboard. It continues its trend of great gaming scores here in Aquamark 3. Looks like that extra memory bandwidth is really helping out.
