System Spec and Benchmarks - Synthetic

The system as it was tested

Soltek SL-75FRN-L Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP2200+ Tbred processor
CoolerMaster xDream Heatsink
2x256megs Corsair Platinum TwinX paired memory
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
Maxtor D740X 40GB ATA/133 HDD
Enermax 350watt power supply
12x/40x DVD/CDRom
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1

Installation was a snap, the only hangup was that Windows XP didn't recognize any of the nForce2 chipset features by default. The included driver CD contains everything that you will need including a cool looking HW monitor. For testing purposes all of the software and drivers have been updated to the latest version obtainable from the nVidia website.
