CPU Test

Now we are going to test how fast the CPU is with the Lan Party KT400a and the Biostar M7VIG. We will be using the CPU Arithmetic test and the CPU Multimedia test from SiSoft Sandra.

As the graph shows, both motherboards perform about the same, but I didn't expect much of a difference. The Lan Party takes the lead in every test except for the CPU Arithmetic FPU test where the Biostar wins by about 12 MFLOPS. Overall, the Lan Party KT400a allows for better CPU usage.
