Abit AG8 Review

Date: 2005-2-15

[Abstract]
   The first thing I have to say about the ABIT AG8 is that it is the best overclocking 915P motherboard we have tested on spective so far. It was able to do an amazing 261MHz clock (1044MHz bus ...

Abit AG8 Review

ABIT AG8 (i915P) - Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Chaintech V915P (i915P) - Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Intel i915P with DDR2 - Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR2

VIA K8T800 Pro - Athlon 64 3200+ (754 pin), 1GB DDR

NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra400 - Athlon XP3200+, 1GB DDR

The ABIT AG8 performs about the same as the rest of the 915P systems in this number-crunching test. Overclocking enthusiasts will see the deltas as significant, but for general users the differences are trivial.

Chaintech V915P (i915P) - Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

VIA K8T800 Pro - Athlon 64 3200+ (754 pin), 1GB DDR

NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra400 - Athlon XP3200+, 1GB DDR

In this intensive benchmark using the freely available Maya 6.0 Personal Learning Edition and a modified version of SPEC鈥檚 Maya 5 benchmark, we can see the ABIT AG8 perform in the middle of the pack. The Asus P5GD2 comes out on top likely thanks to the DDR2 memory.

Abit AG8 Review

ABIT AG8 (i915P) - Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Chaintech V915P (i915P) - Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Intel i915P with DDR2 - Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR2

VIA K8T800 Pro - Athlon 64 3200+ (754 pin), 1GB DDR

NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra400 - Athlon XP3200+, 1GB DDR

The ABIT AG8鈥檚 performance in this task is mixed. It鈥檚 faster than the old nForce 2 and trivially faster than the Chaintech V915P. However the K8T800 Pro system and the 915P running DD2 all perform better by large margins (~10 minutes better for a full length 2-hour film).
