Intel SR440BX Slot-1 microATX

The Test

In recent times, choosing a motherboard cannot be completely determined by a Winstone score. Now, many boards come within one Winstone point of each other and therefore the need to benchmark boards against each other falls. Therefore you shouldn't base your decision entirely on the benchmarks you see here, but also on the technical features and advantages of this particular board, seeing as that will probably make the greatest difference in your overall experience.

The Final Decision

As far as an integrated motherboard goes, the SR440BX is the best money can buy if stability is your primary concern.  You won't want to come within 10 feet of this motherboard if you plan on overclocking, or if you plan on getting the absolute best in gaming performance.  However, if you're looking for a rock solid motherboard, with above average integrated audio/video and don't mind spending a pretty penny, the SR440BX may just be for you.  Intel knows how to make a quality motherboard, but they can't seem to make a "feature-filled" one.
