PCMark04 is the latest version of the popular PCMark series that is an application-based benchmark and a premium tool for measuring overall PC performance. For this benchmark I did not include the graphics section of the testing so that the video card would not make a difference between the two systems. As you can see the Abit NF7-S scores a little over 300 points more than the Albatron board which isn’t a lot.
3DMark2001SE is the older but not obsolete benchmarking tool from Futuremark that utilizes DirectX 8.1 for testing. I ran the benchmark at 1024×768, 1280×1024, and 1600×1200 to get a full range of results to compare everything. Again I was actually surprised to see that the onboard video beat out the Radeon 9200SE on both motherboards except for at 1600×1200 which crashed every time I ran it. I am not exactly sure why the benchmark kept crashing but I was unable to resolve the problem with the things that I tried. However with the 9200SE results the Abit NF7-S does achieve a better score with each resolution.
3DMark03 is the latest version of the highly favored 3DMark series by combining full DirectX 9.0a support with completely new tests and graphics. As expected the onboard video did not do well with this test because it does not support DirectX 9 so it was unable to run some of the tests. The Albatron board did better with the 9200SE than the onboard video but the Abit NF7-S did better than both using the 9200SE.

Why did you choose a ten year old post to comment on?
FOr me it won’t turn out good even if your mother board is good then your fiber optic cables is garbage. You want all things part of it have the quality.
