With BIOS settings on
"sensible" values, and the memory at 133(266)Mhz,
Benchmarks were taken in Madonion's 3D Mark 2001, SiSoft's
Sandra (RAM & CPU benchmarks), and, although a little
old in the tooth, Quake III Arena (patched to 129f). Values
were compared with the Soyo Dragon Ultra, using otherwise
