Testing
First off, let's start with some basic motherboard, CPU and memory tests
using SiSoft Sandra at default settings.
CPU Arithmetic

CPU Multi-Media

Memory Bandwidth

So
far, the default benchmarks have been right on par with what we would
expect from a 3GHz CPU. However the memory is much higher. That is
because the ABIT AA8 DuraMAX has some cutting edge settings in the bios
that optimizes the DDR2, squeezing out every bit of performance
possible. Now let's look at some games.
