The Endurance Tests involved testing to see whether or not the motherboard could complete a set of looped runs of BAPCo's SYSMark 98 test suite.  The test suite runs through and tests performance in 14 applications.

The Endurance Tests level the playing field and place the Gigabyte 7IX and MSI 6167 on an equal platform.

The FIC performs even worse here, completely unable to hit the 700MHz mark reliably enough for normal operation.

While it can't hit 800MHz in the Endurance Test, the K7M is still superior to the rest of the competitors in terms of its ability to operate under very stressing conditions.  ASUS' high quality manufacturing and stability are more than evident with the K7M and are represented by its stellar performance in our tests.  This isn't to discount the fact that both the Gigabyte and MSI boards performed very respectably too.
