Benchmarks: 3DMark2001SE, Quake III Arena

3DMark2001 SE Source: MadOnion

3DMark2001 SE is the latest installment in the 3DMark series by MadOnion. By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

3DMark2001SE Benchmark Results
AMD (FSB/Memory) 3DMarks Ranking
1. 2x 256MB Corsair XMS3500 (166/333 MHz) 16298
2. 2x 256MB HyperX PC3500 (166/333 MHz) 16342
3. 2x 256MB HyperX PC3500 (216/432 MHz) 17013

16k with everything at stock speeds is awesome. Raising the FSB to 216 MHz while keeping the CPU speed the same nets us about 700-800 points.

Quake III Arena

Source: ID Software

Quake III Arena is a First Person Shooter (FPS) that revolutionized gaming as we know it. Using multiple light sources and having graphics textures that can fill videocards, even after 3 years it's still able to bring a cutting edge system to its knees.

3. 2x 256MB HyperX PC3500 (216/432 MHz) 121.6

Those are some nice Q3 framerates. As we can see overclocking boost performance quite a bit.
