Memory Test

We wanted to see how much performance the Lan Party motherboard allows the memory, so we decided to compare it to a plain old Biostar M7VIG. Both motherboards will be running a FSB of 133 and using the same 512 Meg stick of PC2100 DDR RAM. We will be testing with SiSoft Sandra's memory benchmark.

As you can see, the Lan Party allows the memory to be accessed much faster than the plain old Biostar. The faster the memory can be accessed, the better overall performance your system will have.
