With the release of the new 1090T CPU from AMD I have decided to move to the 1090T as the CPU of choice for our AM3 platform. Testing a new platform is very time consuming but on the other hand consolidating our test software is a good thing. I decided to move every test to the latest version of the software including wPrime 2.03, Cinebench 11, and the X264 benchmark to version 3.18. I also updated the WD Raptors to ADATA SSD drives.
