The software has several built-in tests for memory and CPU/FPU.
Due to its lower memory running speed, we wouldn't expect to see the Shuttle 32DG2 perform very well in the memory tests. And the truth is that its slower than the other two desktop motherboards. The big differences can be found in the Copy/Read functions, while in memory write (due to 333@3-3-3-6 timings) it's faster :-)
In the CPU tests, the 945G Express chipset shows very good behaviour and in some tests, even takes first place.
SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software. It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what's really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCIe, ODBC Connections, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc. Sisoft Sandra offers a variety of tests for Memory and CPU.
In Sisoft Sandra 2007 SP1, all motherboards are very close, although in the memory related tests there is a difference.
