The Athlon 64 is such a dog that AMD won't sent it out for testing. AMD wants a test of its hardly available A64 FX to run those tests. So it rigged up system with a prototype nForce 3 chipset and only 1 G of also unavailable DDR400 memory so it could get some good scores with its unavailable benchmark special

"AMD sent a complete system with an Athlon 64 FX-51 for testing. It was based on an Asus S8KN with an NForce 3 chipset. In spite of many requests and personal contacts, the manufacturer didn't want to make a sample of the "normal" Athlon 64 available. After that, a mainboard manufacturer gave us the desired processor without further ado. The test basis is also completely new: Since the AMD platform was based on 1 GB of main memory, the other platforms also had to manage with this amount of memory.
