The processor numbers from the ECS NF650iSLIT-A motherboard are on par with the other motherboards tested recently however memory bandwidth numbers are weak. It's interesting to see that this is not a problem isolated to the ECS motherboard, the other nForce boards tested also exhibit the same things.

Super Pi Mod 1.5	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.

The "lack" of bandwidth in SiSoft Sandra does not translate into longer times here in Super Pi. Results are still very good and the motherboard completes the task in 20 seconds.
