PCMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed for Windows Vista offering one-click simplicity for casual users and detailed, professional grade testing for industry, press and enthusiasts.
A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security.
From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.
Even though PCMark is a synthetic test, it does let us easily compare different systems together. These results certainly aren't the best we've seen but are perfectly acceptable considering the i5 660 has only two cores. Additionally, if we used a solid state drive in our test system , the productivity score would be greatly improved.
Really good review, I like these systems and it is always great to see coverage. CPU is good for the price too. Not sure I agree it would need to be core i3, core i5 performance is very strong for the clocks.
weird design if there is no CMOS clearance switch ?
I need a media system like this, my PC noise levels are rubbish for media 🙁
What is that cooler like? a reference intel cooler ?
Nice little system that. Would probably use a different chassis tho
Sounds like the perfect board for me, on my to buy list.
The zotac board seems a better deal than this one as the overclocking options are better.
If they allow for overclocking but give no way to rescue it, what is the point of that? if it locks out how do you get back to normal.
Are you sure the board cant overclock? what is the point of giving bios options if they dont allow voltage increases or ways to get it back to default speeds? isnt that a recipe for a disaster?
