Notes

In CPUMarks which test integer performance you'll notice the very small gap between all the motherboards included in this review. The BE6-II wins, but just by a point. FPUMarks are just as close, with a tie between three motherboards and the CUSL2 with a 20 point advantage.

In terms of disk performance, the SE6 and BE6-II swap for the top spot, with the 6309 and CUSL2 battling for last place. In synthetic benchmarks based on conventional applications (Winstone and CC Winstone) finish first in the more mainstream-oriented tests (Winstone) and third in applications based on desktop publishing. (CC Winstone) The gap between all four systems is pretty close however.
