The 3400+ falls marginally behind the FX-51 and the P4EE at 3.2 GHz but a mild overclock cures this little problem.
FinalFantasy XI
Final Fantasy has been one of the strongest benchmarks for the nVidia nForce3 chipset, because of the latencies involved or rather, their impact on the benchmark's outcome. The top score goes to the Shuttle AN50R running an Athlon64 3200+. This clearly demonstrates the impact of the different chipsets / core logic on the overall performance. In other words, one could take this whole thing to the extreme and only show the top scores of each CPU on the particular board that it happens to run the respective benchmark fastest. This is rather unrealistic, though. Aside from the effort involved running those benchmarks, there is no practical value other than a proof of concept in this approach either.
