PiFast
A good indicator of CPU/Motherboard performance is PiFast version 4.2, by Xavier Gourdon. We used a computation of 10000000 digits of Pi, Chudnovsky method, 1024 K FFT, and no disk memory. Note that lower scores are better, and times are in seconds.
PiFast is a great application for testing real-life floating point operations. The scores here threw me off as all of the synthetic benchmarks showed that the nForce2 was slower than the KT400A when it came to floating point operations.
TMPGEnc MPEG Encoding
Video editing is a taxing chore, and we'll be testing the LanParty KT400A using TMPGEnc 2.512 to encode a 7.78MB, 1:30 movie trailer to a 23FPS MPG file. Note that lower scores are better, and times are in seconds.
The KT400A pulls ahead here by two whole seconds - which is a lot considering that it's 1/11 of the total time taken to render our video.

Once again we get mixed messages, the CPU score is in favor of the nForce2, but the memory is in favor of the LanParty…

DFI LanParty KT400A: One of the most unique looking motherboards makes it's way into the test labs at VL. Can the LanParty's beauty be backed up by it's performance?
