All tests were run using a clean install of Windows XP Professional with SP2. Both boards used the latest release bios. For our stock speed tests, we ran everything at default timings for the CPU. For both boards, our stock speed testing used Adata DDR2 6400 2 GB kit, at speeds of 4-4-4-12 and 1.8 vDimm. Timings for our overclocking were left 4-4-4-12 and 1.8v, but the ram divider was set to 533 to take any ram issues out of the CPU overclocking. The video card was left at default timings as well for all tests. For this review, stability was determined by running our battery of tests, plus the ability to complete a SuperPi 32mb test run.
