One thing to note during testing that one of the tests failed to complete, PCMark04. The system suite would not run completely through, forcing me to use PCMark05. Performance is top of the line, beating the Intel 955 CPU nearly in every benchmark by a small margin. For purposes of this review I used an Intel 955 Dual Core 3.46GHz CPU, and similar tests. The hardware is identical across both platforms except for the motherboard.
