Stock memory performance is the lowest of the AM3-DDR3 boards (The Asus M4A78-HTPC is AM2+ and DDR2), however it does manage to edge ahead of the Gigabyte board slightly when overclocked due to the offset of its faster core clock compared to slower CPU-NB clock, and ~100MHz extra DDR3 clock. The latency test clearly shows the ECS board behind everyone else though as it turns out slower at stock and when overclocked.

Sisoft Sandra is slightly more forgiving on the overall latency, but the memory performance is still behind both other DDR3 boards.
