MSI KM2M Combo-L Micro ATX Motherboard
 

 

Performance

 

For performance testing, we used Sandra MAX3 and PC Mark 2002.  First, let us look at the test system:

 

Processor: Ahtlon XP 1800+ @ 1780MHz
Video: onboard
Memory: 384MB Generic DDR RAM
Hard Drive: Western Digital 40GB
Cooling: OEM AMD Heatsink/Fan

CPU Arithmetic Benchmark

 

 

The Dhrystone/Whetstone scores were 6636/2696.  We compared it to other Athlon XP processors and as you can see, our 1800+ outperformed the 2000+ reference system and almost matched the scores of the 2200+ reference system.

 

CPU Multi-Media Benchmark

 

 

Integer/Float scores were 9561/10492.  Again we see similar results when comparing against other XP processors. 

 

Memory Bandwidth Benchmark

 

 

Memory scores were 1257/1223.  The KM2M Combo-L supports PC2100 DDR memory.  Results were based on generic PC2100 DDR and we used other PC2100 references for comparison.

 

PCMark 2002

 

PCMark 2002 is an excellent benchmark utility that measures and makes a diagnosis of your computer’s performance under home and office usage. 

 

The CPU Benchmark runs the following tests:

 

JPEG decompression
Zlib compression & decompression
Text search
MP3 Audio Conversion
3D Vector Calculation

 

 

 

CPU/Memory scores were 4391/2188.  Keep in mind that this board only supports PC2100 DDR so results should be compared against similar memory modules.
