SuperPI has become an utility to benchmark modern systems. In August 1995, the calculation of pi up to 4,294,960,000 decimal digits was succeeded by using a supercomputer at the University of Tokyo. The program was written by D.Takahashi and he collaborated with Dr. Y.Kanada at the computer center, the University of Tokyo. This record-breaking program was ported to personal computer environment such as Windows NT and Windows 95 and called Super PI.

The software offers up to 32M calculations of PI numbers. We summed all test results and compare the performance of the tested motherboards

The Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi still holds impressive performance with 6.25mins, while Maximus Extreme was somewhat faster than the Blitz Extreme with 6.29mins 8M+4M+2M+1M calculation time.
