In the following page we compare the performance of the Shuttle SP-45H7 with some other motherboards. For all the tests, we used the same components:

DDR2 Memory Testbed

• CPU: Retail Intel Q9300
• CPU Cooler: Shuttle stock
• Memory: 2x1GB OCZ PC2-8500 (800MHz @ 4-4-4-12-2.25V)
• VGA: Asus 9600GT Top with latest driver pack
• HDD: Seagate 7200.12 500GB
• Operating system: Windows XP SP3 with all latest updates installed
• Operating system: Windows VISTA SP1 with all latest updates installed

Since the Shuttle SP-45H7 doesn't support our passive cooled MSI 7600GT graphics card, we had to replace that with a newly designed Asus 9600GT Top model.
