| Athlon XP1900+ QuantiSpeed and Hypervelocity | |

Expendable Timedemo
Since there is hardly stress on any high end graphics adapter, CPU power, chipset latencies and memory performance are the limiting factors with regard to the average frame rates achieved.

Once again, there is a 2% performance delta in favor of the XP1900+ at default settings. The overclocked XP1800+, though pulls ahead of the XP1900+ which is what was expected for the simple reason of higher bus speed and consequently lower latencies. Athlon XP 1800+: purple; XP 1900+: lighter columns
Quake3 Arena Demo 001 Normal
Average frame rates of Quake3 Arena Demo001 "Normal setting" at 640x 480x 16bpp. Same color scheme as above. The XP 1900 pulls ahead by some 2.5% but here the overclocked settings show an almost 4% advantage for the XP 1800+.
Quake3 Arena Demo 001 Fastest
At the fastest setting, bandwidth limitations appear to kick in, otherwise it is about the same picture as with the "Normal" setting.
Higher resolutions would only increase the impact of bandwidth and video card limitations and are not shown.
