Memory performance
Up to a point, memory bandwidth can do a lot to leverage the performance of a particular platform. Let's start things off by looking at Sandra's memory bandwidth tests.

The KR7A-RAID's performance is impressive. VIA is also to be commended on its 'A' revision of the KT266 chipset, which has improved performance appreciably.

Moving to the floating point test, the KR7A-RAID continues to perform well. It's worth noting, though, that loads of memory bandwidth do not a great real-world performance make. (Yeah, whatever Yoda.)

Business performance
Though Business Winstone isn't the most demanding suite of benchmarks, enthusiasts still use the occasional word processor.

The KR7A-RAID pulls off a pretty impressive performance, especially since it's uncommon to see much variation in Business Winstone scores.

Content Creation Winstone gives us a more demanding application platform for comparison. How does the KR7A-RAID do?

Quite well. Though the scores are close, the KR7A-RAID manages to come out ahead in this suite of multimedia content creation applications.
