From: Developer's Page
In the four areas of analyzation in 3DMark06 Professional, the X38 and X48 boards both consistently outperformed the Intel P35 based boards -- which, in turn, the DDR3 based P5K3-Deluxe posted slight consistent leadership over its DDR2 counterpart. Up to approximately 100 point differences can be seen with the X38 and X48 boards over the P35 based boards, and the Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 was slightly ahead of the Asus P5E3-Deluxe in all four areas.
