Overall Performance
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

We measured the overall performance of this motherboard using SYSmark2004, which is a software that simulates the use of real-world applications. Thus, we consider this the best software to measure, in practical terms, the system performance.

The benchmarks are divided into two groups:

  • Internet Content Creation: Simulates the authoring of a website containing text, images, videos and animations. The following programs are used: Adobe After Effects 5.5, Adobe Photoshop 7.01, Adobe Premiere 6.5, Discreet 3ds Max 5.1, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, Macromedia Flash MX, Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 9, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 and Winzip 8.1.

  • Office Productivity: Simulates the use of an office suite, i.e. simulates sending e-mails, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc. The following programs are used: Adobe Acrobat 5.05, Microsoft Office XP SP2, Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1, NaturallySpeaking 6, McAfee VirusScan 7.0 and Winzip 8.1.


The software delivers specific results for each batch and also an overall performance result, all in a specific SYSmark2004 unit.

We selected the following motherboards to compare to ECS C19-A SLI:

  • Albatron PX915P Pro (Intel i915P)
  • DFI LanParty 875P-T (Intel i875P)
  • DFI LanParty 925X-T2 (Intel i925X)
  • DFI LanParty UT 915P-T12 (Intel i915P)
  • ECS 865PE-A7 (Intel i865PE)
  • ECS 915P-A (Intel i915P)
  • EPoX 5EPA+ (Intel i915P)
  • EPoX 5NVA+ SLI (nForce4 SLI)
  • Foxconn 915A01-P-8EKRS2 (Intel i915P)
  • MSI P4N Diamond (nForce4 SLI)
  • PCChips Tidalwave T18 (Intel i915P)

The results you see on the chart below.
