Test environment Our test's are going to be out of the box. What's this mean to you? It's simple, our system will use out of the box drivers and automatic settings. This will give the would be system integrator or entry level enthusiasts a heads up look as to the performance, stability and functionality of the NF95 without any tweaking, without any mods. Our test configuration will be run in an open air environment for ease of use to facilitate easy configurations. Here is what we are using to test this rig: System Hardware Specifications - AMD Athlon64 3500+ Venice core
- OCZ 2048MB XTC Gold
- Cooler Master Real Power 550Watt PSU
- Thermaltake HSF
- 17" KDS Multiscan CRT Monitor
- 1 x 120GB Maxtor DiamondMax
Our tests will be based on default settings. We installed the hardware, a copy of Windows XPSP2 and booted to a desktop and proceeded to install the included drivers from the ABIT CDROM. Now we will get a shot from CPU-Z. CPU-Z 
Couple shots of the hardware in action.
Close up of the northbridge and memory.
We are going to start testing the synthetic capabilities of the product, but first, before we do, we will burn in the system for several hours and monitor stability and system temperatures. The 6100 series integrated GPU is designed provide enthusiast class performance at a entry level budget, will this hold true for NVIDIA partners who use this chipset. Well we think so, let's take a look at some synthetic results and get an idea of where the MCP51 sits.
