ALi MAGiK 1: The Athlon gets a second DDR platform

Expendable has historically been a great benchmark of memory performance and has always been a good tool for weeding out those chipsets that have sub-par memory performance in comparison to others in their class.

We used it to show that the Apollo Pro 133A had an inferior memory controller than that of the Intel BX and later the i815.  And now the benchmark is illustrating the same thing once again, this time in comparing the MAGiK 1 to the AMD 760.  The performance difference this time is closer to 6%. 

Even in professional OpenGL applications such as those represented by SPECviewperf, the MAGiK 1 continues its 5% performance deficit to the AMD 760.
