Here you can see how much difference a mere 25 mhz extra on the GPU and video
ram made, I ran battlefield 1942 as a test game, and it ran perfectly well in
800 by 600 on stock settings, and a little choppy in 1024 by 768. Once I had
overclocked the graphics, it ran perfectly smoothly in 1024 by 768, confirming
that this board is a moderately capable game player.

As you can see here, running asynchronous memory is of no benefit at all,
and sometimes even worse than a 1:1 ratio. The scores are well below the 2500mb/s
of the nforce 2, and about on par with the KT266s performance. Since this board
is obviously not for the performance junkies, I think it doesn't matter too
much.
