Performance
Unlike our last roundup, the performance difference between these boards was not that great. Apparently it just took some time for the Apollo Pro 133A chipset to mature a bit. With that in mind, it is much more important to look for a board that has the features you need and want, rather than focus on getting the fastest board out there.
