Chaintech VNF4 Ultra: Tremendous Value in a Performance Motherboard- Page 4/5

Performance
We compared the VNF4 Ultra to two other Performance-Mainstream boards, the EVGA 133-K8-NF43 and ECS KN1 Extreme, using the popular benchmarks 3D Mark 2005, 3D Mark 2003, and SiSoft Sandra. All platforms were set at stock bus speeds and 2.5-3-3-8, 1T memory timings.
As seen previously, AMD's on-die memory controller has made large performance differences improbable for most applications, and similarities between nForce4 chipset platforms have further normalized scores. In fact, a variation between 200 and 201 MHz default bus speed, normally accepted, would be enough to account for the differences seen here.
