MSI P4N Diamond & Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Low-Detail Gaming Performance

Summary

Both the P4N Diamond and GA-8N-SLI Royal are pretty evenly matched, with the Gigabyte ever so slightly faster than MSI's board with the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4GHz installed. Both are faster than Intel's D925XCV motherboard, though. The tables turn when the Prescott-based Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73GHz is installed, with MSI coming out on top in all games but Splinter Cell.
