When AMD integrated a memory controller into the Athlon64 processor, they took away one of the key performance features that differentiates one chipset from another.

Sandra is
designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual
components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not
represent real world performance.

Please
keep in mind that the CPU is running at the same approximate speed on all
motherboards. Overclocking the K8N Neo-FIS2R Platinum boosts bandwidth quite
nicely.
SuperPI
calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching
benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the
number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 Thousand to 32 Million.
The benchmark, which uses 19 iterations in the test, is set 1 Million digits.
Lower
numbers denote faster calculation times (seconds), and hence, better
performance.
Again
remember that the Athlon64 3200+ is running at the same speed on all the
motherboards. SuperPi loves a lot of bandwidth, and here we see that the K8N
Neo-FIS2R Platinum has the best time.
PCMark
can be used on desktop PC's, Laptops and even Workstations and tests everyday
computing from home to office usage. PCMark specifically stresses the CPU,
memory subsystem, graphics subsystem, hard drives, WindowsXP GUI (if WinXP is
used), video performance and even laptop batteries.
It should
be no surprise that all the motherboards score about the same in the Processor
portion of PCMark2002. Overclocking really boosts the memory score for the K8N
Neo-FIS2R Platinum though.
