The board was tested with the 3.06GHz processor supplied by Intel for the original 3.06 review and HyperThreading was tested both enabled and turned off. The board is up against some hard hitting AMD hardware and a 2.8GHz RDRAM system we've had in labs previously using the same software and graphics card combination.

As always, benchmarks were run 3 times and the upper and lower results discarded to leave the median result for the graphs. If any result differed by more than 5% from the other 2, all 3 results were discarded and a fresh 3 results were obtained. Excepting SETI due to the time taken to complete this benchmark.
