Due to the fact that the P5E3 Premium uses DDR3 memory and supports the new Yorkfield and Wolfdale CPUs from Intel I’ve decided to update the test system for this configuration with a QX9770 CPU, 2GB of Crucial Tracer DDR3-2000 memory and include PCMark Vantage in the benchmark suite. As we test more X48 and future boards that support DDR3 memory this will be the platform of the near future.
