It's interesting to see that both nForce4-SLI motherboards come last in several of these benchmarks, especially since the nForce4 Ultra based Gigabyte K8NXP-9 comes in first and the chipsets are so similar. On the bright side, the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI does well on the data analysis test, finishing first and out pacing the other SLI board.
