One fact about the Expendable timedemo is that the high resolution tests are wonderful for illustrating further performance differences between CPUs. While the performance of all of the CPUs is being hindered by the fill rate/memory bandwidth limitations of the GeForce 256, we can see the positive effects of the AGP 4X support and greater memory bandwidth of the i820 in that it helps give the test system the slight advantage over the AGP 2X Athlon 800 platform.

The TNT2 Ultra meets its match at the 1024x768x32 setting, there is no change between the CPUs in this fill rate/memory bandwidth limited test.
