DDR2 Memory Motherboards

In the memory tests, the Asus Blitz Formula is ever so slightly faster in the copy and write tests, but the Asus P5k Premium is clearly fastest in the read operation.

In the CPU tests, the Asus P5K Premium seems to be the faster board overall although there is very little between the three boards.

DDR3 Memory Motherboards

Passing to the DDR3 platform, the P5K3 Deluxe the fastest motherboard although here too, there is very little between the boards.

In the CPU tests for both DDR2 and DDR3, in all but the Photoworxx benchmark, there is very little difference. In the Photoworxx test, the Asus motherboards did quite well, indicating that they offer good memory bandwidth and low latency.
