Ziff Davis has had CPUMark 99 out
there for quite some time. Simple truth is that it only takes a few seconds
to run a benchmark and gives you a rough idea of what kind of speed the machine
is capable of. This same Duron 800 on the Azza motherboard scored 65.7. You

I've seen a paradox between Sandra's
CPU benchmark and CPUMark 99 time and time again. That's why I would never
rely on either of these benchmarks by themselves. The Azza board scored 2285
and 1114 respectively. The scores are very
close but you can see that different manufacturers actually can have differences
in design transfer over to raw performance. You can download Sandra here.

As I mentioned
before in my Duron
800 review - its very important to get all your memory settings optimized
to get the max performance for your system. A good expample? The Azza board
only scored 349 and 388 respectively with this same benchmark. Memory performance
can have a huge impact in how well the entire system performs, and ovbiously
AOpen has payed very special attention to the memory performance of this
board. Both boards were run with the memory at 133 MHz as CAS 3. Unfortunately
for the Azza board it does not feature optimizations such as the AOpen AK33's
"Fastest" or "Turbo" setting. What's more impressive
here, as I mentioned before, is that I couldn't get this stick of memory
to perform at the "Turbo" setting. Imagine how much higher the
score in this benchmark could have been?
