Re: There was nothing wrong with Tom's Nehalem setup as there wasn't with Anand's 2nd motherboard Anand had two motherboards. One which ran the majority of benchmarks, and one which only ran the Everest memory test. And the second one had this caveat, which you somehow posted but didn't read: "Note that these figures are from a completely untuned motherboard" Re: Notice the high bandwidth and low latency Which Anand said was not used in the majority of benchmark runs. Unfortunately we didn't have access to the more mature platform for very long at all, meaning the majority of our tests had to be run on the first setup (never fear, Nehalem is fast enough that it didn't end up mattering). anandtech.com
