Asus Crosshair

Memory Performance:

While the Asus Crosshair doesn't exceed the fastest of the nForce 590 SLI boards we've tested, it still breaks the 8k barrier in our Sandra Memory Test which still makes it an exceptional performer.

Disk Performance:

The USB 2.0 tests were done using an ATA133 160GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 hard drive (model number: 6L160PO) using HDTach's 8MB zone test enclosed in an Icy Box USB 2.0 hard drive caddy. We recorded the average read speeds in all cases.

USB performance is great, Asus has really nailed this on it's head compared to the problems with throughput we've seen from Abit and DFI recently.
