Software (This was the Software specifications of the test)
- Microsoft Windows XP Pro (SP2)
- Intel System Drivers 7.2.2
- Nvidia nForce 680i SLI 9.53
- Nvidia nForce 650i 8.26
- Nvidia Forceware 97.92
In all the memory bandwidth tests, the ASUS P5N-E SLI did very well, it matched the ASUS 680i SLI board (P5N32-E SLI). Also, the P5N-E SLI seemed to be noticeably faster than the Gigabyte 965P-DS3P in the tests that were held. But then again, the gains achieved by the P5N-E SLI were small; this optimized memory performance might help the P5N-E SLI in real-world tests.
