Summary

The ATI Sturgeon reference board puts up figures in the expected ballpark, for our platform tests, given the CPU and memory used. Notable test results include its serious performance in KribiBench (down to the display driver), good USB2.0 performance and class-leading HEXUS Crypto tests, indicating there's no barrier to maximum CPU-led performance on the mainboard when using AM2 processors.

Good, consistent speed at 'stock' system settings.
