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. 

Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

    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 2004.10.9.133
    Cachemem
    Cachemem is a synthetic benchmark used to test bandwidth and latency.
    These synthetic benchmarks are pretty much self-explanatory and shows us that given similar hardware both the nF3-150 and nF3-250 will perform about the same, at least on a purely synthetic benchmark level.
