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.

The Tyan Trinity 400 was the first Apollo Pro 133A available and was chosen by Micron for its top of the line Millennia MAX. The vote of confidence from Micron goes a long way to show just how good the Trinity 400 is. It does have a few quirks when it comes to overclocking, but all around there's no doubt that it's a solid board. In fact it's quite possibly the best overall solution from the first wave of Apollo Pro 133A boards. The biggest problem with the Trinity 400 may be finding one of these in stock as they seem to be flying off the shelves at the moment.
