Notes
The AA8 DuraMAX gets to fight Intel's D925XCV desktop board using the 3.4 Extreme Edition, and a dastardly duo of FX-51 and FX-53 on Socket 940 provide the AMD competition. NVIDIA's 6800 GT bequeaths the able 3D service on both AGP8X and PCI Express, and our usual set of benchmarks provide the torture.Given identical memory timings on the Micron DDR-II, it'll be interesting to see what, if any, lead the AA8 can grind out over the Intel board.
