 Microsoft Excel 2007 is the first real-world application we have tested with and as you can see, it fails to separate the Asus and Gigabyte H55 motherboards. This test also indicates that the Intel processors are far better optimized for this application.
 This time round, with WinRAR, we are conducting our own tests rather than simply using the inbuilt benchmark. Interestingly, when simulating the compression of a 400MB application, the Core i3 540/H55 configurations were only just able to match the Athlon II X4 635. However when compressing a 700MB video file they were considerably faster. |

Nice review. I have noticed that Gigabyte generally undercuts Asus and since they both sell products with similar features and performance I often go with Gigabyte. |

Gigabyte is starting to overtake Asus in shipments and this is probably because they are offering slightly better deals! |

Nice boards but I prefer Gigabyte myself. Asus boards tend to be a bit pricey for my liking. |

@ Cheddar - So because a few guys commented that they agree that the Gigabyte board is better we are now employees of the company... Meh |
