Here is our test system
Our test system was Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with Catalyst 8.9 drivers.
We tested the transfer rates of our Western Digital 750GB to tested AMD's SB750 southbridge.
We see a slight boost from the newer Asus board here with hard drive performance.
Next we tested external USB 2.0 transfer rates with a WD Raptor hard drive.
Not a huge difference at least with our Raptor tests in USB performance between the two.
Next we tested game performance which we didn't expect a change but to be cover all bases.
No real difference between the two that can't be explained by just variables in testing.
Power consumption is something we also wanted to test to see if there was any difference between the SB750 and SB600 chipset.
We do see a slight difference in about 10W abut the M3A32-MVP Deluxe was the version with the Wi-Fi module which could explain the difference in power. Either way it isn't a significant amount.
Finally we come to overclocking testing the SB750's ACC versus regular overclocking through the M3A32 BIOS.
This is where we see the largest difference between the two boards with the M3A79-T Deluxe able to reach 200MHz higher overclock than the one with the SB600 chipset. A fairly large difference between the two.
