    MSI 845 Ultra (MS-6398) Intel 845D Motherboard Review
    By Vince Freeman :  February 14, 2002

    SiSoft SANDRA 2001

    The most interesting part of the SiSoft SANDRA suite is the memory bandwidth tests. The dual-channel i850 is still the undisputed champion at this benchmark, but again it'll be interesting to see how the 845 Ultra stacks up.

    The overall MMX and SSE memory bandwidth scores still favor the i850 by along shot, but the 845 Ultra still posts some excellent results for an i845D motherboard.

    Quake 3: Arena

    Quake 3 Arena

    Quake 3: Arena is our primary gaming benchmark here at SE and its design really shows off some of the advantages of the Pentium 4. Quake 3 is both floating-point intensive and has support for SIMD optimizations (MMX, 3DNow! and SSE), making it a great fit for the Intel Pentium 4. Quake 3 testing has also been updated to release 1.30, along with a natural progression to the standard "demo Four" it includes.

    It seems that Quake 3 is still the domain of the Pentium 4/i850 platform, as it blazed ahead of both i845D systems. In the head to head match-up, MSI comes away with a slight victory over the Intel 845D reference board.
