Unfortunately, over the past month or two, AnandTech has been stumped by some extremely odd variance in SPECViewperf 7.1.1 scores with 915 and 925X-based motherboards. We're seeing somewhere in the range of 50% discrepancy in scores. The issue is not the equipment that we're using, as we've been able to confirm these exact same issues with multiple AnandTech editors and enthusiasts in the community. The issue seems to be related to the implementation of PCI Express graphics cards; though, that is merely suspicion at this point and isn't based on anything more than keen observation. We will update you as motherboard manufacturers send us updated BIOSes in the near future. For now, though, we simply cannot in good conscience post SPECViewperf 7.1.1 scores.

Back on 9/18, the article ended with:"In fact, we're currently in the middle of testing an SFF just like that. We'll let you know how that SFF turns out later this week."
So - how'd it turn out??

Yes IceWindius, we'll have an SN95G5 review posted in a day or two.IceWindius - Sunday, September 19, 2004 - link
Nice system layout, but I really want it to be an Athlon 64 setup and not the Prescrap. You guys gonna review the new SN95G also?
