The Review says it all, nForce2 tops any Athlon architecture to date by at least 10%+.
AND, for all those people who thought that Twin Bank Memory architecture was useless, THEY WERE WRONG HAHA.
I learned something new today also, that when you populate the third memory slot on the nForce2, you will gain even more memory bandwidth performance. Why you ask? Well what really happens when the third memory slot is populated is the twin bank syncronizes between all three banks on the fly reading two at once. The second bank is always read while the first and third bank are randomly switched between. This is an improved version of 4-way interleaving basically and gives a NOTICEABLE performance boost.
BTW, This review was done with DDR333 memory performance hence they never displayed no 400MHz + FSB and memory benchmarks. I cant wait to see those!!
