ScienceMark 2.0, Pifast
Starting off with a look at memory bandwidth and latency, as always.Bandwidth looks good in ScienceMark 2.0, thanks to the use of a 266MHz FSB, generally matching that posted by AMD's Athlon 64 CPUs.
Latency is also where we'd expect a well-tuned LGA775 setup's to be. A discrete MCH ensures that it will never match the results obtained via AMD's onboard memory controller, though.
The single-threaded Pifast test is actually slower on the default-clocked E.E 955 than on the two single-core Pentium 4 CPUs. If it's single-core number-crunching speed you need, look no further than the AMD Athlon 64 FX-57.
