Now, we try Soltek SL-86SPV2-RL at real applications.

The popular 3DMark2001 SE benchmark names i875P- and i865PE-based mainboards the winners. Soltek SL-86SPV2-RL is behind them, but ahead of mainboards on single-channel chipsets.

We see the same situation in Quake 3. Note that the results of Soltek SL-86SPV2-RL should not be considered low. The i865PE- and i875P-based mainboards we included into the review are fastest of their own class. It means that if we compared Soltek SL-86SPV2-RL to other mainboards based on those two chipsets, VIA PT880 would probably win the day. At least Soltek SL-86SPV2-RL is lagging behind ASUS P4P800 by 3-4% only.

The same balance continues through Unreal Tournament 2003 and Serious Sam 2: Soltek SL-86SPV2-RL is slower than ASUS P4P800 and ABIT IC7-MAX3, but faster than any mainboard based on a single-channel chipset.
