SiSoft Sandra
Sandra is a software collection of synthetic benchmarks that will give us a basic idea as to what a system is capable of. It should be noted that SiSoft numbers change depending on what version you have installed; these were recorded using Sandra Professional Business Version 2009.1.15.42
Synthetic Conclusion
Synthetic performance never really tells the entire story but is a good benchmark of what the system "could" do under the right conditions.

We used a new version of Sandra for this review and as the charts show there is not much of a change between the 920 between chipsets until we get to memory performance.  Keep in mind the Bloodrage was tuned for only a single bank of memory whereas the LanParty Jr has 2.  There will be a slight hit in memory performance here however a little tuning may help minimize this.
