PiFast

As was seen with the previous test, the MSI K8N Diamond Plus is just a little bit faster when it comes to computations than the WinFast board.

TMPGEnc 2.521

Times are very close here, but since we are encoding a relatively small file, the gap will get larger as the file size increases

CDex Audio Conversion Wav to MP3

It's a continuous trend here, as the MSI board takes the lead in another test, but by a very small margin.

DVD Shrink

Scores here are equal, but since we are dealing with absolute seconds rather than including milliseconds into the scores, there is no way to declare a winner in this test.

Quake 4

iD's latest shooter is quite CPU/Subsystem dependant and as the scores here show, there is very little difference between the two.

3dMark06

I'm not a fan of 3dMark but running at 640x480 yeilds similiar results between the two setups.
