EVEREST Ultimate Edition is an industry leading system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for enthusiasts PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. During system optimizations and tweaking it provides essential system and overclock information, advanced hardware monitoring and diagnostics capabilities to check the effects of the applied settings. CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks are available to measure the actual system performance and compare it to previous states or other systems. Furthermore, complete software, operating system and security information makes EVEREST Ultimate Edition a comprehensive system diagnostics tool that offers a total of 100 pages of information about your PC. The software has build-in several tests for memory and CPU/FPU.

Both the Asus P5B Deluxe and Striker Extreme work with the same memory divider (FSB:DRAM 1:2). The Asus Striker Extreme was only fastest in the Memory read test.

In the CPU tests, the Asus Striker Extreme was slower than the P5W64 WS Pro. With the CPU Photoworxx benchmark, the performance difference was quite substantial.

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software. It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what's really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCIe, ODBC Connections, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc. Sisoft Sandra offers a variety of tests for Memory and CPU.

In Sisoft Sandra 2007 SP1, the Asus P5W64WS Pro, due to its Intel 975X chipset, was faster in all tests. The Asus Striker Extreme was slower than the P5B Deluxe and was left in third place.

Again, we see a major difference in performance between the three motherboards in the "Cache And Memory Index" subtest.
