Memory and single-threaded app. evaluation
ScienceMark 2.0 analysis highlights that all three LGA775 motherboards, based on two chipsets, perform in near-identical fashion. The comparison AM2 motherboard, running an Athlon 64 FX-62, jumps ahead in bandwidth but, surprisingly, has a touch higher latency when evaluated with an 8MB data set.
HEXUS Pifast is our single-threaded number-crunching test that calculates the constant Pi to 10M places. Both nForce 680i SLI motherboards are marginally slower than the Foxconn 975X7AB, which utlilises the same components but a different chipset.
