                Photoshop CS2 
                  
                If you blink during the tests, you'll miss the 1 second difference between the two boards. Both boards do very well in the Photoshop test with the K9AGM2 winning here. 
                DVD Shrink 
                  
                Another close win for the K9AGM2. 
                3DMark06 
                  
                In this benchmark, the CPU results are pretty close, but the K9AGM2 leads here. 
                Doom 3 
                  
                Far Cry 
                  
                Unreal Tournament 2004 AS-Convoy 
                  
                Mere frame rates are what separate the two boards here. In all three games, the K9AGM2 holds a slight lead over the C51PV.
