Memory Performance
The memory latency test shows a 14% advantage for the nForce4's memory controller. This is an outstanding result and really shows NVIDIA's ability to engineer and produce a competitive component. The performance advantage continues to show in the bandwidth tests, and although Intel and NVIDIA are normally equal in this area, we believe that MSI has coaxed more performance out of their solution than Gigabyte.

Looks like it went up early.Good read though. At first I was like "Holy $#!+" when I saw the gaming benchmarks, but then they mentioned about the Gigabyte BIOS being effed up.

I can't believe the Nforce 4 for AMD supports dual core but the Intel edition only has limited support and no support for the 820.coomar - Wednesday, September 21, 2005 - link
