Benchmarks:

Before we take a look at our overclocking results, let's take a quick peek at the results Sandra shot back at us for this board. For testing we used a PentiumIII 700Mhz FC-PGA processor, 128MB of Semicon PC133 RAM, and a 5400RPM Maxtor and the onboard video. From what Sandra shows us, the memory benchmarks are lower than the reference, while the multimedia values are fairly high.

CPU Benchmark 700Mhz

Multimedia Benchmark 700Mhz

Memory Benchmarks 700Mhz

The results of Sandra's tests show, for the most part values above that of the reference systems. Now onto the fun part, overclocking!
