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 environments such as Windows NT and Windows 95 and called Super PI.

The software offers up to 32M calculations of PI numbers. For all our tests, we tested up to 8M calculations and summed them up for a total score.

Summing all SuperPI scores, gives us a clear picture as to which motherboard produced the lowest calculation time. The Asus P5K Premium was the fastest of the three tested boards.

The Asus Blitz Extreme, due to its higher memory performance, managed the fastest calculation time.
