XviD, WAV, KribiBench, Realstorm
Encoding into MP3 format isn't too shabby, though. 2m 49s to encode 611MB of U2's Pop album WAVs into 192kb/s MP3 is more than reasonable. It's more down to clock speed and processor prowess than chipset differences.
The same is largely true with KribiBench, but notice just how well a tuned Canterwood board and a 3.4GHz Northwood (200MHz slower than the Pentium 4 560) do.
A situation where Pentium 4 560 and compliant LGA775 boards are able to shine is media encoding. The 8IPE775-G, however, has always remained a touch behind an Alderwood's performance. Not bad for a board that can cost up to half of a deluxe i925X.
Pentium 4s didn't do so well when we used an older Raytracing benchmark. Using the 2004 edition reduces FPS but continues to show AMD's Athlon 64s in a better light.
There were no problems to report with SATA performance.
