With DDR3 platform testing behind us, we look forward to boards that support current-generation DDR2 performance RAM and next-generation FSB1333 processors. How do these stack up to older solutions?

add the three up, then divide by three and see if it's accurate.

i am not fool you know, i can work out the mean of a set of data.

MSI P35 Platinum : (106.11 + 101.23 + 100.92) / 3 = 102.75 (2dp)

Asus P5K Deluxe : (106.73 + 100.51 + 100.97) / 3 = 102.74 (2dp)

if only those 3 scores were counted the platinum should be top i do believe

Note: Thanks to TG Forumz member p4rry for pointing out a glitch in the charts that had previously lead us to the wrong conclusion.

The MSI P35 Platinum gets the best overall performance rating, at 2.22% ahead of the least-performing P965 comparison board. Perhaps we should have chosen our P965 board based on performance rather than overclocking, but we really wanted to see "how much higher" the best P35 boards would clock than the top P965 versions they replace.

Thanks for your review.

There seems to be only an incremental improvement, but nowadays that's all computer parts seem to get anyway.

If the price isn't too expensive, and eVGA are doing one anytime soon, I may be tempted.
