Next: SiSoft Sandra:
With SiSoft Sandra we focused on tests that focus on the CPU and memory systems to see if they could finally show a significant difference between our two boards.
.
For the two CPU tests shown above, there is very little difference, even when the memory speed is ramped up. So for raw processing power, there’s almost no difference between the two, however if you want to be picky the P5KR does come out slightly in front on both tests.
The memory bandwidth tests shows a rather surprising result, when both boards are running the memory at 800MHz, the P5KR lags a fair way behind the nForce 680i motherboard, and only when the memory is taken up to 1066MHz does the P5KR finally catch up and *just* get in front. This is a surprising result and suggests that the memory controller on the P35 chipset really isn’t as good as it’s nVidia counterpart, but more tests to come.
The last test of the day shows a very different story with regards to the memory, with the nForce 680i motherboard coming in significantly slower than both P5KR tests, showing the P5KR gets far better performance from the CPU/Motherboard’s cache and memory subsystem. As it’s an Intel chipset and an Intel CPU, perhaps the ‘Intel Fast Memory Access’ that Intel talk about in their new P35 chipset does actually make a difference, though certainly not in overall bandwidth as we saw with the previous test.

Put the type of processor Core 2 Quad 2.8 -12 MB cache to feel Broken full power as well as in some cases, the computer stops working. Note was examined for the processor on the motherboard again was effective. I'm a fan of products Azzouz So Aahb change the motherboard. Note that the type of motherboard he has is a kind Azzouz Khak please set the imbalance and assistance with appreciation
