To test the performance of this board, we will run the standard Winstone 99 Benchmark suite running on Windows 98 SE with the following system configuration:

Soyo has given us power users a board that has left us with nothing more to desire.  Performance is top notch and the i820 chipset isn't really much of a scare. Stability when overclocked is far above most other boards. Not only does it perform, but its feature packed, it even supports UltraDMA/66 which is a privilege of only a very small minority of BX motherboards thus far.  If you're upgrading your system, I can't think of a better board to buy.  With this board, you'll be able to run the new Pentium III Coppermine CPU's (Slot-1 and FC-PGA) as well as older Pentium II's and III's and Celerons, and best of all you can overclock them all!

New Award System:  90-94 = Silver, 95-100 = Gold
