Notes
I'll be comparing Gigabyte's hybrid board against a full i925X DFI LANPARTY motherboard that's running a PCIe GeForce 6800 GT and DDR2 memory. I'll also be looking at how a Pentium 4 560 (3.6GHz) compares against a 3.4GHz Northwood run on a tuned Canterwood motherboard. Additionally, we'll see how Intel's platforms compare against a couple of AMD's current finest. No problems to report during testing. Benchmarks were carried out at 1024x768x32 85Hz unless otherwise stated.
