Can you guess why the time returned is the same in all three cases?.



Little benchmark difference again.



KribiBench, however, always tends to favour NVIDIA's nForce3 series of boards. The only explanation can be differences in AGP implementation. The Zenith ZNF3-250 takes top spot by the smallest of margins.



Encoding the first VOB of Sleepy Hollow fails to differentiate the boards to any major degree. That's it in a nutshell. Any decent Socket-754 motherboard, given the identical latencies, will perform within a percent of two of other boards. Please bear that in mind when a manufacturer claims the speed crown as its own.
