3Dmarks 2001SE

Unfortunately for the E7205 and Intel 850/RDRAM setups, the regains the lead on 3dMarks 2001SE... the board is clearly in the lead even without Dual channel mode, but in Dual Channel mode it's lead widens at all AA levels.

Conclusion

I think it's fair to conclude that the SINXP1394 offers a compelling mix of high performance, great features, and overclocking support that will appeal to the masses. We're pretty involved in the local growth of Dual Channel popularity, and we know for a fact that many people are taking advantage of the SIS655's ability to work in Dual Channel mode with PC3200 memory. Our performance results gives you a narrow look at the benefits of the SIS655 chip and its Dual Channel support, but it still gives you a good idea of just how far this board can go. Certainly at the very least it gives compelling evidence to the fact that PC1066 RDRAM is now the more expensive option that is ousted by the cheaper, higher performing DualDDR SIS655 chipset.

The board sells for around $189 on the net - cheaper than the $220 GNB Max but more expensive than what we found for the MSI 655 Max-FISR.
