Benchmarks

In this test, we checked out the difference between the 4 boards, the ASUS Striker II Extreme, Gigabyte P35T-DQ6, ASRock Penryn1600SLI-110dB and ASRock Penryn1600SLIX3-WIFI. The boards are attached with a Vvikoo 9600GT Turbo graphics card factory clocked at 700/1000. CPU used is a QX9770 running at 8x400.

Using CPU-Z, we checked the CPU Clk, the ASUS Striker II Extreme clocks at 400.00MHz, ASRock Penryn1600SLIX3-WIFI runs at 400.1 , the ASRock penryn 1600SLI-110dB at 400.1 and Gigabyte P35 board runs at 400.0. Both the ASUS Striker II Extreme and Gigabyte P35T-DQ6 are paired up with DDR3-1066 with memory running at a ratio of 3:4, giving it a base clk of 533MHz (DDR2-1066), running in ASync to the CPU at 400MHz, ram timings at CAS 7,7,7,20-2T. On both ASRock boards, the memory is running in SYNC with the CPU at 400MHz (DDR2-800). The ram timings used on the ASRock was CAS 5,5,5,15-2T. 

From the chart above, we can see that the ASUS Striker II Extreme has amazing memory bandwidth but seems to lose out in the other tests. Will this translate to poorer results in comparison with older chipsets.
