Foxconn Winfast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS Motherboard Review - Benchmarks

Benchmarks
With the tour and description of the board finished, we are ready to check out a few benchmarks. I intend to run Sisoft Sandra just to test the CPU chipset, SuperPi to demonstrate how long it takes to crunch through Pi calculations on this board, and finally 3D Mark 05.
Test system:
Processor: AMD 64 3500+Venice
Memory: 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) Kingston PC2700
Motherboard: Foxconn NF4SK8AA-8EKRS
Hard Drive: 120 GB Western Digital 133 ATA
Alright, let's go.
Results
This is the Sisoft Sandra CPU Arithmetic benchmark. You can see we have comparisons to average systems with the A64 3200+, FX-51, FX-57, and the budget dual core, the X2 3800+. The 3500+ is the same core as the 3200+, just with 200 more MHz (same core clock as FX-51). The 3500+ on the Foxconn Winfast NF4SK8AA-8EKRS performs better than I even expected. With the scores averaged, it performs a little better than the FX-51 (instead of simply being better than the A64). Nice performance, AMD and Foxconn!
This is the Sisoft Sandra CPU Multimedia benchmark, used to show how typical sound and video would perform on the chip. Once again, the performance looks like it's way up there. The average FX-51 system performs like this setup.
Here's our final Sisaoft Sandra benchmark, looking at the CPU Cache. The performance looks to be right about where it should be. Everything looks good.
This is the SuperPi benchmark, which simply times how long it takes for the system to calculate X digits of Pi. I tried every test, up to 32 Million digits of Pi.
This is the result in 3D Mark 05. This test, as well as most 3D application, are mostly dependant on the video card, but the entire system influences the results. These are on par with expectations, as other x800gto systems score similarly. The motherboard is certainly providing enough speed for the processor and PCIe video card. Altogether, this is a mid-range motherboard and it performs great in its class.
