Testing (continued):

FutureMark PCMark Vantage:

FutureMark's PCMark Vantage offers a full suite of tests intended to look at the key system components. The results are all presented in unit-less "Marks" and higher is better for each score. We will look specifically at the overall PC Mark score and Hard Drive score. An important note, due to the capabilities of the Intel D510MO, we were unable to to run the entire test. Certain portions of the memory test and the DirectX 10 test would not run, therefore we can't see the whole "apples-to-apples" comparison here, but it should it should give a vague idea of how the two boards match up. The first chart is the overall PCMark score. As you can see the ASUS board wins by almost 200 points - perhaps the DX10 tests helped here.



The next chart shows the Hard Disk portion of the benchmark. Contrary to our other tests, the ASUS board falls just shy of the win.
