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.

Improving on an already great design Shuttle managed to crank out one killer motherboard with the HOT-637...at a price under $160, which is very close to the price of a Socket-7 motherboard, the HOT-637 can't be beat.
