Notes
The SN95G5 gets to fight the HEXUS FX-53 review system, powered by MSI's K8T Gem mainboard, and my usual Socket 940 test platform housing Socket 940 FX-51, run at FX-53 speeds (12X multiplier). The SN95G5 is at a slight disadvatange with only 512MB of memory, but runs tighter memory timings at 2-2-2-6. Bear that in mind when considering the benchmark results.CPU-Z System Information
