Sandra 2004 :::..
We're now using the new Sandra 2004
which was released
SiSoft Sandra Memory Bandwidth:
I'm not sure what XFX have done in the
BIOS but it seems to have done the trick. Memory performance
with our Corsair TwinX 3200LL set at the suggested
2-2-2-6 was simply awesome. It's considerably better
than the admittedly far-from-blazing 8RDA3G and I'd
suggest these are probably equal to or better than
any nForce2 board we've tested to date.
SiSoft Cache and Memory Benchmark:
Mach4

Again we see a convincing performance
as soon as the data "blocks" hit 512k in
size.
SiSoft File System Benchmark:
The Mach4 may well take the plaudits
for memory performance but I didn't really expect
the same situation with the file system tests. Not
only is the Mach4 faster, it's faster by some considerable
degree.
