The Core 2 Duo compatible Intel 945G Express northbridge is ideal for cash-strapped consumers and not so great for AMD... as we'll see with the Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2 motherboard.

Do not be
alarmed at the lower memory bandwidth numbers, remember the Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2
system is running its memory at DDR2-667 speeds. The processor numbers are a tad
lower than anticipated but not too much out of the ordinary.
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. Lower times are better.

Super Pi
is heavily dependant on memory bandwidth and with the Gigabyte GA-945GM-S2
running its DDR2 memory at 667 MHz, there is an ever so slight performance
penalty. Regardless, all platforms equipped with Core 2 Duo processors perform
at the top of the pack.
