Performance

The testbed was configured as follows:

  • Pentium 4 560 Prescott
  • Barebone XPC SB81P
  • 2x512MB OCZ PC4200
  • Windows XP SP2

We tested the barebone 1) with its integrated graphics core and 2) with an external Leadtek WinFast PX6600 GT TDH 128MB graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT).

The first table compares the reviewed barebone with its competitor, Qbic EQ3901M, in which we installed an Athlon 64 3500+ processor (Newcastle) and the same memory as in the XPC barebone. I didn’t have two graphics cards that would differ in the interface only at the time of my tests (the Qbic only supports AGP 8x), so let’s compare the two barebones in tests that load the CPU only:

Of course, it’s hard to make any judgments basing on so few applications, but it’s clear the Qbic performs better in memory-related tests.

The second table illustrates the performance of the SB81P in various modes:
