All tests were run using a clean install of Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit. For our stock speed tests, we ran everything at default timings for the CPU. Our stock speed testing on our DDR2 boards used Corsair DDR2 C6400C4 2 GB kit at 1.9 vDimm at DDR2 800, and timings of 4-4-4-12 and 1T, if available. Our DDR3 boards that used DDR3 were run using a 2GB kit of Kingston PC3-13000 memory running at timings of 7-7-7-20 and 1T at 2.0v.
The ASRock N7AD-SLI was not able to run any tighter timings than 5-5-5-18, 2T, so all testing was done at those speeds.
