Motherboard Benchmarks: SiSoft Sandra, Super Pi

SiSoft Sandra 2005 Source: Sandra

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system as well as the individual components. The results are also purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.

SiSoft Sandra results are nice and high, but again there isn't much of a difference between the various platforms here and the MSI K9A2 Platinum motherboard.

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.

Super Pi results are interesting, in the 1 million testing all motherboards and memory standards perform the same.
