SiSoft Sandra Memory Bandwidth

Ouch! There is something clearly wrong with the memory subsystem on this motherboard. Integer performance of the PF22 was where I would expect it to be considering the slightly looser CAS latency, but it gets absolutely butchered on floating point memory accesses. I'm putting my money on a buggy BIOS implementation, or some misconfigured internal timing/option, because the chipset is otherwise identical.

WinRAR

Considering the above scores, I am not surprised that the P5WD2 takes a commanding lead in WinRAR -- a very memory bandwidth and latency-sensitive benchmark.
