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.

If you look at the SYSMark 2000 and Quake III Arena scores, the Iwill performs similar to the ASUS A7V133, which has the performance lead. However, with the Content Creation Winstone 2000, the KK266 obtains the lowest score, falling behind the ABIT KT7A-RAID but remaining ahead of the last place (among KT133A's) EpoX EP-8KTA3.
Although we say Iwill falls to the back, we are talking about a difference of less than 2%, and with BIOS revisions being released seemingly every other day, we expect the scores to undergo some changes, and hopefully be more consistent by the time we publish a KT133A roundup.
