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 should not 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.

Final Words

The Chaintech CT-6OJV2 is an average i815E motherboard.  It has decent performance, but it isn't as stable as Chaintech’s previous products.  The 3 BIOS feature is useful in protecting the system from either a virus attack or BIOS corruption.  The LCD monitor and smart card interface is something nice to have, though they might not be that useful for most users.  In short, with the CT-6OJV2, Chaintech provides a fair i815E solution for users who want to take advantage of their PC133 SDRAM to run with their 133MHz Intel CPU.
