October '97 Slot-1 Motherboard Comparison

Out of the 6 boards that were tested at 337.5MHz, the ASUS P2L97 came out on top with a score 0.2 Winstone Points above the two way tie for second place between the Chaintech 6LTM and the AOpen AX6L.  Shuttle's stable LX wonder, the HOT-631 followed the lead of the top three performers quite nicely with an outstanding 68.2 Business Winstone 97 score followed by FIC's KL-6011 and ABIT's LX6.

Pretty much the same picture here, ASUS takes the lead, closely followed by Chaintech and AOpen, with ABIT holding up the rear with a score of 70.0.  All of these scores fall within 2 Winstone Points of each other, which is very good indeed, the simple ability of a motherboard to make it up to the 375MHz clock rate with a Pentium II - 300 is an achievement by itself.  Out of all of these motherboards however, the AOpen AX6L is the most stable at 375MHz, followed by the ABIT LX6, the Chaintech 6LTM and finally the ASUS P2L97.
