The Test Setup:

• Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU
• ASUS P5N32-E SLI, and ASUS P5KR Motherboards
• Corsair TWIN2X 2GB PC2-8500 1066MHz Memory Kit (2 x 1GB)
• XFX GeForce 8800GTS 320MB PCI-Ex16 Video Card
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB SATA-II Hard Drive
• Antec Basiq 500W ATX Power Supply
• Windows XP Pro SP2

We will be using PCMark05, 3DMark06, SiSoft Sandra and the game Prey to test all areas of performance for the motherboards. As both motherboards natively support only 800MHz DDR2 RAM, this is the speed it has been left at on the P5N32-E SLI board, and the P5KR, however we also ran the P5KR with the memory at 1066MHz due to the additional support for the speed from ASUS, and because we wanted to see what kind of difference it made of course.
