Hi

My and my team mate Matiz did some simply test who is better Old and good chipset named 975X or new baby from Intel named X38.


Aplication used :

Everest Ultimate Edition - memory read, memory write, memory latency. ( The same Everest version )

3D Mark 2006 - CPU test

Super PI mod 1.5XS - probe 4M ( without optimalization )

WinRar included test - the same version of progs. Stop after 1 minute of run test.


Test platforms :

The X38 system come with :

Gigabyte X38-DQ6 board F3 bios
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ two core enabled
2 x 512MB Corsair 5400UL
Galaxy GeForce 8500GT
BQ 500W


The 975X system come with :

Intel D975XBX2KR Bad Axe
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2 x 512MB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800MHz
Asus GeForce 6600GT
Hiper Power 530W


All test done at 2400MHz CPU freq and mem divider 4:5 ( 667MHz 3-3-3-8 )

So let's see who is better
