Since we
awarded Editor's
Choice to the Asus SK8V for top Socket 940 board, we decided to run all
benchmarks with the SK8V with Dual-Channel Registered Memory and the top-line
Athlon 64 FX51. The 3400+ runs at the
same real speed as the FX51, but uses Single-Channel unbuffered memory. We plan to take a closer look comparing the performance of the
3400+ and FX51 on XP64 in a future article.
Please forgive us for not including it here - but we wanted to get some
benchmarks to you as soon as possible.
Consider this a preview - with more to come.
