Because of the CPU clock the Fire's slower, but by a margin you'd expect give the two other system's Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor.

CPU-based 3D rendering

Cinebench

Kribi

The Elite Fire beats the Elite Extreme SLI in Kribibench by a few percent, but gets a spanking in Cinebench, further compounding the up-and-down performance of the system (although it's the Extreme SLI that's slow in the Kribi test). Neither MESH box can keep pace with HEXUS reference system either.

Gaming performance is next, where the dual Radeon X1950 graphics board should do brilliantly, given that a single one is already arguably the fastest single graphics board money can currently buy. Two of them should therefore rock the house.
