VIA K8T800 Pro – Athlon 64 3200+ (754 pin), 1GB DDR, ATI R9800XT |
In this productivity benchmark, all Intel 915 motherboards perform equally regardless of their memory configuration. This shouldn’t surprise you too much since RAM can only affect web page rendering by so much.

In these Winstone tests, the Asus P5GDC-V running DDR2 performs slightly faster than the DDR setups. However, it’s just not fast enough to match the results of the P5GD2. It’s interesting to see how two Asus DDR2 boards perform differently.

The Asus P5GDC-V performs well in this intensive 3D test while using DDR2. In all tests using DDR2, we see a distinct advantage. However, this advantage does not really materialize in any other test/application we perform.
