The memory bandwidth numbers of the ASRock motherboard are excellent when running with the Socket 939 processor. They're in line with nForce3 Ultra numbers, which is pretty good!

Super Pi Source: SuperPI

SuperPI calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The program allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 thousand to 32 million. Our benchmark is set to 1 Million digits and 19 iterations.
