It looks like a pretty tight race among the Clovertown boards. Paxville was just blown out of the water here. However, Woodcrest simply shot past the rest in many of the tests. Because of the numbers being so close to each other, board features and company support should be considered before making a purchasing decision. These results are indicative of BIOS-level optimizations which the motherboard company is responsible for.
