Nothing too fancy here, but it is no slouch either : an Athlon 64 FX-62 CPU and 2 GB of DDR2-800 RAM with a CAS latency of 4. Not too shabby, indeed.
What are our expectations ? Well, frankly we’d be surprised if any board pulls ahead at any particular task. With the memory controller on the Athlon 64 die, performance shouldn’t deviate that much at all. The only real wildcard in the suite is the single Radeon Xpress 3200 chipset, and we’ll be surprised if any leads by any particular board falls outside the margin of error.
