Since we awarded Editor's Choice to the Asus SK8V for top Socket 940 board, we decided to run all benchmarks with the SK8V with Dual-Channel Registered Memory and the top-line Athlon 64 FX51.  The 3400+ runs at the same real speed as the FX51, but uses Single-Channel unbuffered memory.  We plan to take a closer look comparing the performance of the 3400+ and FX51 on XP64 in a future article.  Please forgive us for not including it here - but we wanted to get some benchmarks to you as soon as possible.  Consider this a preview - with more to come.
