ASUS Rampage Extreme Motherboard
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility capable of benchmarking the performance of individual components inside a PC. Each of the benchmarks below were run a total of five times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average being calculated from the remaining three.
Everest is in many ways similar to Sisoft Sandra. Focusing mainly on software and hardware information reporting, Everest also comes with a benchmark utility suitable for testing the read, write and latency performance of the memory subsystem. Each of these benchmarks were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest scores being discarded and an average calculated from the remaining 3.
Result Observations
Both the Rampage Extreme and Blitz Formula SE boards performed very closely to one another. However, in the Memory testing there is now quite a difference. This is most likely down to the extra bandwidth that DDR3 provides over the DDR2 of the Blitz Formula.
