 Foxconn C51XEM2AA
The Way nVidia was Meant to Be Built

AMD Athlon64 x2-3800+
Memory Performance

One particular performance segment that was expected to yield a huge improvement for DDR2 was raw memory bandwidth, yet in the initial testing, the actual benefits of the DDR2 platform were rather marginal. With the C51, things changed quite dramatically:

The "C51" sets a new record in memory bandwidth for a single CPU platform without ccNUMA

ASUS M2N32 SLI (transparent) vs. Foxconn C51 (solid): Lower is better. The C51 runs at noticeably lower latencies.

Foxconn C51 (transparent) vs. DFI LAN Party UT NF4 UltraD / Athlon 64 FX60 (DDR1) (solid) : Lower is better. The C51 almost reaches the "low latency" DDR1 platform.
