SiSoft Sandra Benchmarks
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software. Sandra provides similar level of information to Norton SI, Quarterdeck WinProbe/Manifest, etc. The Win32 version is 32-bit and comes in both ANSI (legacy for Windows 98/Me systems) and native Unicode (Windows NT4/200X/.Net) formats. The Win64 version is 64-bit and comes in native Unicode format.

Do note that all the SANDRA benchmarks are synthetic and thus are may not tally with real-life performance. The latter stands for whatever your environment is, i.e. which applications you run with what amount of data and so on. It is up to you to decide whether what Sandra measures is what you want to measure.

Here you can find the scores of Sandra:

Above, you can see the CPU performance. I must state that SANDRA's results often are not consistent. The number changes slightly now and then. The PX865PE PROII comes from Albatron and can be compared to this Gigabyte mainboard. Almost the same specifications. The Gigabyte had HyperThreading on in the benchy, the PX865PE PROII did not. On the rest of the benchmarks the settings are equal and thus has HT enabled.

Here we can see memory performance. Impressed yet ? .. SC means single channel while DC of course means Dual Channel. Dual Channel memory @ 400 MHz hauls ass and will boost your overall performance so much. As you can see in the last results .. PAT. We'll go into detail on that memory Enhancement Mode in the overclocking section. Gigabyte's memory performance is slightly slower then the Albatron board. Not at all much to worry about though.
