ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe - PAGE 8

LAME MP3 Encoding

RightMark Audio

RightMark Audio results for all three of these motherboards are somwhat botched. First of all, the Foxconn and Gigabyte products would not successfully complete the 2D audio test. I will look into the reasons for this in the future -- possibly a newer version of RightMark Audio will alleviate the issue. Second, the ASUS M2N32-SLI refused to provide a hardware-accelerated audio interface, which explains its slightly higher CPU utilization in the 3D test, and its inability to run the 3D + EAX test. Our other two motherboards use a Realtek HD audio codec, while the M2N32-SLI makes use of a SoundMAX codec.
