Samsung’s 750 GB F1 drives outshine the Caviar drives of the March build at all system speeds. Increased “hard drive” performance from CPU overclocking is probably due to the “software” RAID controller’s CPU reliance.

Sandra’s CPU tests prove the superiority of the March system’s higher overclocked speed.

Sandra Memory Bandwidth shows both the original and the overclocking advantage of the current system’s Patriot low-latency DDR3-1333.
