PCMark05 numbers are decent, the HDD numbers are slightly lower than the competition... it's not too far behind however.

3DMark05 Source: FutureMark

3DMark05 is best suited for the latest generation of DirectX9.0 graphics cards. It is the first benchmark to require a DirectX9.0 compliant hardware with support for Pixel Shaders 2.0 or higher! By combining high quality 3D tests, CPU tests, feature tests, image quality tools, and much more, 3DMark05 is a premium benchmark for evaluating the latest generation of gaming hardware.

The Epox 9U1697-GLI motherboard scores well overall, however the CPU numbers are quite a bit lower than the rest. I'm not sure why this is, let's see if other benchmarks follow suit.
