the AMR Slot
On the mainboard you will notice a new port also, this is the
low-cost Audio Modem solution that I was talking about.
AMR means Audio / Modem riser, the AMR
specification is an open industry standard specification that defines a
hardware motherboard rise board and interface, which supports both audio
and modem, while also addressing specific functional limitations of
today's audio and modem subsystems.
Benchmarks
Right, do you have enough of the technical blah blah ? Do you want to
see how this motherboard holds up against other solutions ? Let's do some
benchmarking then.
All benchmarks are based up-on a 400/66
Mhz Mendocino processor system with 64 Mb PC-100 SDRam. Unfortunately I
was unable to benchmark the system with V-Sync disabled. I simply could
not find a way/util that supports disabling this function. Therefore average
frame rates compared to other cards may result in a lower score
since FPS was synced at 60 and 85 Hz.

The results shown here are
pretty normal. In fact they are on par with what i expected. A
comparable videocard for the i810's video section is something like a
TNT (1) card.
I have entered these
statistics into a comparisation chart with all kinds of ranging
videocards. See results below:
Look at the Light blue Intel 810 line
for the Superpower's 7BW motherboard results. Pretty good for a low-cost
100$ solution wouldn't you agree ?.
