nForce 590 SLI: Foxconn C51XEM2AA

General Performance:

Performance was roughly as expected here - the two AM2 motherboards were a second slower than the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe and DFI LANParty UT CFX3200-DR socket 939 mobos.

The tables were turned in Xvid Encoding - the Foxconn C51XEM2AA was a few seconds faster than the ATI reference mobo, but not enough to worry about too much. With SLI Memory enabled, the encoding time was reduced by nearly 30 seconds.

Foxconn's C51XEM2AA was slower than the nForce4 SLI X16 predecessor from ASUS in much the same way that the ATI Sturgeon reference board was slower than the DFI LANParty UT CFX3200-DR.
