I would like to buy a P90 motherboard. Since not all the motherboards
are created equal, I would appreciate if someone would offer
relavent information on a fast P90 motherboard.  I am most concerning
the CPU benchmark since it tells you how good the motherboard (maybe
the DRAM controller of the chip sets) is designed.

I've check some recent issues of computer magazines that have bench
marks on some P90 machines. It seems to me that almost all of them
were using Intel motherboards. Boards that used Intel Neptune 2 chip sets
definitely outperformed those using Opti chip sets (eq. TMC boards) by
10% to 15% on CPUmarks. When I called some computer shops for information,
I was told that TMC boards with SIS chip sets are the most popular one now.
But I could not find any information regarding its performance. Anyone has
any idea? Thanks in advance.
