EPoX 8RDA3+ nForce2 Mainboard Review (3)
Benchmarking Before we benchmark, we document the FSB the board is running at. The SiS 748 reference board is a bit on the high side. Do bear that in mind when comparing results of the boards as a higher FSB usually will impact the benchmarks in one way or another. ASrock K7S8X-E is registered at 200.97MHz and the EPoX 8RDA3+ is at 200.46 MHz. Gigabyte 7NNXP runs at 200.45MHz. In the comparison, the ASRock K7S8X-E and SiS 748 Reference board is running 1 x 512M Corsair XMS3500C2 Stick at CAS 2, 5-2-2 while the EPoX 8RDA3+ is running 2 x 256M Corsair TWINX512-2700LLPT at CAS 2, 5-2-2. Looking at the benchmarks, it can be seen that Dual Channel DDR400 does have a better memory bandwidth over the single channel DDR 400. The EPoX 8RDA3+ has the best memory bandwidth out of the boards tested. Gigabyte 7NNXP which is also based on the nForce2 chipset is just slightly behind. |
