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.

For an i810E board, DFI has designed a well-stocked competitor. There are an exceptional number of FSB speeds but by not allowing voltage core adjustment, this board is not ideal for an overclocker. All in all, the overclock options are excellent, but most overclockers simply are not going to want an i810E. The stability of the board was well-above average, which means for most users this board will run smooth enough. The PW65-E is an excellent, low priced example of an i810E board.
