Every board that we tested had very respectable scores in nearly every area of testing. In fact, every board took or at least shared the lead in at least one benchmark. Two the othe boards, the ECS and the Foxconn seemed to have issues with the memory benchmark testing in Everest, as they came in much lower than the other boards. They did fine in the ScienceMark testing though.

As you look at the results, it is hard to say anything but that the Asus boards just rock… all the boards do well, but the Asus, and specifically, the Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP board, just take a commanding lead over the rest. The P5K board takes the cake in eight of the benchmark results, with the Blitz coming in with the lead (or share of it) in six of the benchmarks. Let’s try and wrap this up and put some perspective on what we have seen.
