Benchmark Results: Productivity

Several motherboards fall slightly behind in 3ds Max 9.

AVG Anti-virus shows little difference between various X58 models, with Asus and Foxconn taking the smallest of leads.

The slightly-overclocked P6T has a higher-than-anticipated lead in WinRAR, though similar tricks appear to give the X58 Platinum no advantage.

MSI ties Foxconn for the win in Winzip compression.
