Final Impressions
Heading into the first benchmark against the 8KHA+ it seemed like leading the lamb to the slaughter. But this lamb was a fighter. Keeping pace with a technology superior platform really surprised me. Don't get me wrong I'm not about to trade in my current setup for a M7VKQ platform.

Link building Company will help you | Simple Website Templates. Every great website and web design needs a starting place or point. Our own newly redesigned website started from a basic template that was heavily modified to suit our needs and the same can be done for you. Using our simple sea website templates on our site you can buy website templates The benchmarks have shown that the M7VKQ is a stable platform that can give you good performance when utilized in the right application. You may have noticed we didn't run any gaming benchmarks. The integrated video just isn't up to the task of 3D gaming. Just to see, we loaded up QIII Arena. Running at 640x480 the board generated a blazing 24.6 fps. The purpose of our comparison wasn't to find the next gaming platform but to see if this economical all-in-one platform from Biostar is a candidate for running as game servers and small office/home office desktops. I see the M7VKQ as a good replacement for older aging systems companies may be looking to upgrade yet are not really looking for leading edge performance. Lets face it we are all caught up in the advancement of technology. We crave the latest and greatest systems but in reality most daily business applications are severely over gunned by these systems. As a gamer I build or upgrade my system constantly not because it is warranted but because I'm looking to be on the leading edge of technology. Most offices are filled with older workstations that are utilized daily for surfing the web, e-mail and word/data processing. Replacing an outdated system with a state of the art leading edge rig is everybody's dream but isn't in most company's budgets. To give you an example you can upgrade an aging PII/PIII ATX motherboard and processor to lets say a 1ghz Duron powered M7VKQ for around $100. It's really hard to beat this type of performance upgrade for the price.
Having run the system over the last couple of days writing reviews in Word, making graphs in Excel, editing pictures and other images in Photoshop 6 and tending to my daily tasks associated with AthlonXP.com and its Forums, I have come to the conclusion that Biostar is indeed offering "an exception to the rule".
