Performance: AOpen i975Xa-YDG vs. ASUS N4L-VM DH
If we compare the performance of AOpen i975Xa-YDG mainboard against ASUS N4L-VM DH with the Intel Core Duo T2600 processor in the nominal mode, we get very interesting results:
ASUS N4L-VM DH | AOpen i975Xa-YDG | |
PCMark05 | 5926 | 5918 |
PCMark05, CPU | 5059 | 5019 |
PCMark05, Memory | 3296 | 3333 |
3DMark06 | 5852 | 5840 |

Frankly speaking, the situation is opposite to what we have expected. It seemed quite logical to think that AOpen mainboard based on a more up-to-date faster desktop chipset (i975X) would be faster than ASUS N4L-VM DH based on the mobile i945GM chipset usually used in notebooks. However, the real state of things is totally different. The ASUS mainboard is a little bit ahead of AOpen i975Xa-YDG. Of course, the performance difference is not critical, but nevertheless, we can state that AOpen engineers failed to optimize their solution as well as ASUS engineers did.
