Foxconn N68S7AA nForce 680i SLI

Memory Performance:

Memory bandwidth is pretty decent and comparable with the other nForce 680i SLI boards.

Disk Performance:

The SATA read tests were conducted with a 74GB Western Digital Raptor using HD Tach 3.0.1.0's 8MB zone test. The USB 2.0 tests were done using an ATA133 160GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 hard drive (model number: 6L160PO) using the same 8MB zone test enclosed in an Icy Box USB 2.0 hard drive caddy. We recorded the average read speeds in all cases.



USB, Firewire and SATA performances are also very good, keeping up with the competition and providing a decent throughput.
