Inno3D nForce 680i SLI

Memory Performance:

Memory performance isn't that great even in linked mode running 3-3-3-9-18-1T, and performance is on par with the DFI that has completely independent FSB and memory bus. Both the Striker Extreme and P5N32-E SLI Plus boards from Asus both out-perform the Innovision board.

Disk Performance:

The SATA read tests were conducted with a 74GB Western Digital Raptor using HD Tach 3.0.1.0's 8MB zone test. The USB 2.0 tests were done using an ATA133 160GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 hard drive (model number: 6L160PO) using the same 8MB zone test enclosed in an Icy Box USB 2.0 hard drive caddy. We recorded the average read speeds in all cases.

Both USB and Firewire performance is very good compared to other boards in its class.
