After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

CPU-Z
SiSoft Sandra
Sandra is a software collection of synthetic benchmarks that will give us a basic idea as to what a system is capable of. It should be noted that SiSoft numbers change depending on what version you have installed; these were recorded using Sandra Professional Version 2007.9.10.105
Cachemem
Cachemem is a synthetic benchmark used to test bandwidth and latency.
Synthetic Conclusion
Synthetic performance never really tells the entire story but is a good
benchmark of what the system "could" do under the right conditions. It's not surprising that the numbers are
pretty much identical until we get to memory performance. The scores shown here are default settings using the detected SPD settings. It would seem that the P35 could stand to use a little enhancement as it posted the lowest memory score of the bunch.
