AMD 790GX Roundup

After so many benchmarks it's time to conclude all the test results. In general both tested motherboards gave a similar performance. The two AMD 790GX solutions differ in some features and in their retail price. The Foxconn A7DA-S is cheaper and comes in a more "spartan" retail package, while the Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H proved somewhat faster in tests especially under overclocking. It is possible that a newer BIOS for the Foxconn mainboard to improve its performance and behavior. For example, the Foxconn couldn't recognize the EPP profile of the OCZ PC2-8500 SLI memory and properly adjust the memory.
