When I was reviewing the ABIT
KT7-S, I had trouble with my Ati
All-in-Wonder 9700 Pro and the VIA AGP drivers. Lock ups and crashes were frequent and the only solution was to use the old VIA drivers that XP came with or a Geforce card. I’m happy to say the ABIT
NF7-S had no problems whatsoever with my video card and I ran games and benchmarks for hours without any problems. Stability is excellent and to be able to use my
AIW 9700 Pro at AGP 8X was a reality.
Here’s my test system:
AMD Athlon XP 2200+
512MB Crucial PC2700 ram
Maxtor 120Gig 7200 RPM HD
Ati All-in-Wonder 9700 Pro
3DMark 2001 SE and 3DMark03Futuremark’s two applications are up first. While there’s been some big controversy over
3DMark 03, I thought I’d show the scores nevertheless. All tests were run in batch mode with default settings. Here are the scores for
3DMark 2001 SE.
Comparing to the
KD7-G, the scores are pretty close together with the
KD7-G pulling ahead ever very so slighty.
Here’s the scores for
3DMark03:
