The Test
In recent times, choosing a motherboard cannot be completely determined by a Winstone score. Now, many boards come within one Winstone point of each other and therefore the need to benchmark boards against each other falls. Therefore you shouldn't base your decision entirely on the benchmarks you see here, but also on the technical features and advantages of this particular board, seeing as that will probably make the greatest difference in your overall experience.

While not an ideal for the extreme overclocker, Shuttle has succeeded in making a competitive VIA 133A motherboard. There are not as many FSB speeds as competing boards offer but by allowing voltage core adjustment and an adequate number of FSB speeds for 133 MHz chips, this board should appease the average overclocker. The stability of the board was excellent meaning you can rely on this board to run smoothly. The AV64 provides a quality Apollo Pro 133A solution for almost anyone's motherboard needs.
