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 should not 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.

Things get quite interesting with the results on the A7V133. The ABIT KT7A-RAID doesn’t hold the performance crown anymore, as it is edged out ever so slightly by the A7V133. We can see that the SYSMark 2000 and Winstone 2000 scores are still very close to each other, but in the Quake 3 Arena tests, the A7V133 jumped out with a 5% lead over the MSI K7T Turbo, mostly due to its more flexible memory tweaking options.
In general, we are still looking at a very mature series of motherboards. There should be some more room in performance with future BIOS updates, but from the fact that most scores are packed closely together, we can expect such performance boosts to be minimal.
