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.

With the QM413 BIOS update, the KA-11 has shown us that FIC still has what it takes to produce a quality motherboard. Compared to other VIA Apollo Pro 133A solutions, it offers some nice added features like core voltage adjustments, 4 DIMM slots, and (optional) true hardware PCI sound - all at a very reasonable price point just above $100.
