Since this was the only other Socket 7 motherboard in the shootout other than

the Azza 5 SMT, we didn’t include it in our shootout. However, we did test the

board. It supports an FSB of up to 100 MHz and has two ISA and three PCI slots.

It has connectors for both ATX and AT power supplies.

This board can be used for very base level work, because its performance

scores were well below the others in the shootout. Don’t expect too much from

its graphics sub-system other, as it didn’t score too well in the

corresponding benchmarks. In fact, Quake III Arena didn’t run at all on the

board.

Considering the performance, the board is pretty expensive. However, the

overall cost of the machine based on this board would be lower, since it

supports Socket 7 processors.
