Motherboards/Intel S775 by JNav89GT @ 2005-01-06

Socket 775 has given the troubled Prescott Pentium4 a much needed shot in the arm. With better voltage regulation and a new socket interface, we have hope this will cure what ails the Prescott CPU. Today we look at two viable alternatives for those looking to get into socket 775, without having to sell of a kidney to finance the transition.

The Albatron seems to offer small advantages in memory performance in both Sandra and Cachemem testing. Nothing I would call earth shattering, but a small lead nonetheless.

Benchmark leads seem to extend for the Albatron board in Everest, PCMark2004 and Sciencemark testing. While these differences would be hard to discern without side by side benchmarking, those seeking every last morsel of performance might be leaning towards the Albatron at this point.
