Here in SiSoft Sandra 2005 the MSI K8N Neo4 motherboard flexes its muscles in the memory bandwidth portion of the test. Those are very nice numbers indeed! It's good to see that the MSI board does not suffer from the memory bandwidth shortfall that the Gigabyte board reported.

Super Pi Source: SuperPI

SuperPI calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The program allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 thousand to 32 million. Our benchmark is set to 1 Million digits and 19 iterations.

1 Million Digits: Seconds Ranking
ASRock K8 Combo-Z/ASR (Ali M1689 200/400) 36
Soltek SL-K8TPro-939 (K8T800 Pro 200/400) 34
MSI K8T Neo2-FIR (K8T800 Pro 200/400) 35

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI (NF4 SLI 200/400 X800XT) 36

Super Pi times are as expected, considering the processor is running at the same speed on all platforms.
