Gaming Performance
Quake III at 640x480x16 stresses the memory, graphics and CPU subsystems all at once and is actually where we saw the largest differences in performance. That difference is still relatively small - around 5% from top to bottom if you throw out the Shuttle ME21 score. This is a much better situation than what we observed with VIA 133A boards early on in their life cycle.
Performance at 1024x768x32 is limited completely by the video card, so we've omitted those results.
