Gaming Platform Performance:
Summary:
As a gaming platform, socket AM2 appears to be slightly better than Socket 939 - a lot of that is down to the additional memory bandwidth provided by the DDR2 memory controller. However, it is worth mentioning that the situations tested here are CPU-limited - GPU limitations are not accounted for. Please read our
Memory: Is More Always Better? feature, which looks at the differences that memory bandwidth makes in real world gaming environments.
