The Albatron, powered by i875P (Canterwood) goes up against SiS655TX (dual-channel P4), i865PE+PAT (Springdale-PE) and my K8V reference box. The Albatron had PAT enabled throughout, bear that in mind when comparing benchmark results.
CPU frequency was 3222.4MHz (201.4MHz x 16 according to CPU-Z), bear that in mind too when comparing benchmark results that are largely CPU limited.
Memory latencies are 2-2-2-6 for all boards. As usual, all tests were performed three times with the upper and lower results discarded, leaving the median result for reporting. If any of the test results deviated from any of the others by more than 2%, the entire result block is discarded and a new triplet of scores obtained from scratch.
Ignore the 3:2, I was running at 300MHz front side bus at the time. 2-2-2-6 were indeed the benchmarked latencies at all times.
