October '97 Socket-7 Motherboard Comparison

lways been a competitor of ABIT, however they haven't been receiving the credit they disserve.  Here you can clearly see that the overclocked performance of the Titanium 1B is well beyond entry level, this is mainly because the Titanium 1B worked flawlessly at the 75MHz setting, the BIOS memory timings were set at the fastest possible settings without any problems what-so-ever.  Although it wasn't the fastest performer with the AMD K6 or the Cyrix 6x86MX, the QDI Titanium 1B is a very well designed motherboard which is also a very decent performer.  For these reasons, in addition to the extremely low failure rate, most smaller vendors choose to carry QDI motherboards instead of other more popular ABIT or FIC products.

Once again the ABIT PX5 comes out on top, however the Titanium 1B from QDI drops to a horribly low 23rd place, it is very evident that the highest performing motherboards with the Pentium MMX are those based on Intel chipsets, with the first motherboard using a non-Intel based chipset appearing on this chart in 11th place (Shuttle HOT-603).
