I would rate my boards all 100%, that's why I don't need new systems, although Socket 939 is rather outdated.

Xbench comparisons are also very difficult because Xbench isn't very accurate and is testing so much different things. For example, my Athlon 64 3400+ Socket 754 and my Athlon 64 3700+ Socket 939 (both 2.2 GHz) had an cpu-only of about 70-75, but the Socket 754 system had a much lower total result because the AGP graphics was extremely slow, only about 40-45. It also depends on the OS installation, a direct 10.5.6 installation was always slower than an updated 10.5.3 -> 10.5.6 system.

My actual system using Leo4All 10.5.3, Socket 939 Dual-Core Opteron 185 overclocked @ 2.95 GHz using 333 MHz RAM and an ATI Radeon HD2600XT and an Samsung HD103UJ harddisk (very fast) gets 141.48 points, running three tests.

2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.
