Everest Home Edition
Everest Home
Edition is a good benchmark for testing memory performance. Since the
motherboard's overclocking potential and memory bandwidth is closely
related, I find this benchmark to be trustable. With the slower
command rate of 2T, expect memory bandwidth performance to be a lot
slower.
SiSoft
Sandra
Like Everest
Home Edition, SiSoft Sandra memory bandwidth tests the motherboard's
memory bandwidth performance. Again, the slower command rate of 2T
just kills performance. This is the reason why I stay away from
the use of 2T.
Super
PI
Since the
value of PI is an infinite value, Super PI is a speed test to find the
digit you're looking for. In this case, we chose the millionth digit.
Super PI benefits greatly from higher FSB as well as low latencies.
PiFast
PiFast is
similar to Super PI and the results can be greatly affected by a slight
adjustment to the memory megahertz and latency.
Unreal
Tournament 2004
Unreal
Tournament 2004 is a very popular game that is highly effected by the
system's performance. Testing was done under the resolution of 640x480
to minimize the dependency of GPU and CPU power.
