One of his customers who was standing near by listening in interrupted to ask "is it really worth all the trouble for the last few MHz"?

Benchmarks: SiSoft Sandra 2003, PCMark2002
Sisoft Sandra 2003 |
Source: Sandra |
|
Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of
a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken though are again,
purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.

Sandra only tests theoretical power and as
you can see, the overclocked machine gets a very healthy performance boost.
PCMark is a new benchmark from our pals at MadOnion
which a whole system benchmark. It can be used on desktop PC's, Laptops and even
Workstations and tests everyday computing from home to office usage. PCMark
specifically stresses the CPU, memory subsystem, graphics subsystem, hard
drives, WindowsXP GUI (if WinXP is used), video performance and even laptop
batteries. This benchmark was released March 12, 2002 and can be downloaded from
Madonion if you would like to give it a test run on your computer for
comparisons sake...
In PCMark,
we get a over 20% boost in the processor portion of the test and just 20% in the
memory test.
