Memory bandwidth scores between the top three motherboards is unusually very similar. Only the ECS, with its major performance anomaly, breaks the continuity.

WinRAR makes the difference between DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 clear as day. The 975X7AA and PF22 simply don't stand a chance with their lower memory clock speed.

The Foxconn 975X7AA's SATA implementation is on-par with the competition. Only the P5N32-SLI seemed to have a bit of an advantage with its burst read performance. In general, the figures are very close.

Nothing to see here, except perhaps a quick gawk at the P5N32's slightly lower average read performance. Move along.

USB 2.0 performance is always going to be a battle of CPU utilization given a proper implementation. Data transfer rates are identical all across the board, but CPU utilization varies greatly. The 975X7AA comes in very respectably at second place, beaten only by the P5N32.
