Test System Specs:
Computer:	Intel Pentium 4 1.7GHz processor MSI 850 Pro2 BIOS June 2001 VisonTek Geforce 3 256MB Samsung PC800 RDRAM 60GB Samsung HDD, 5400RPM
Software:	Windows 2000 SP1 DirectX 8.1 Beta Detonator 12.90
Benchmarks:	SiSoft Sandra 2001 SE e-Testinglabs Benchmark Suite 3DMark 2001

For the first round of benchmarks on the MSI 850 Pro2, lets see what SiSoft's Sandra 2001SE has to say.

This is the benchmark we have all been waiting for, and the P4 doesn't disappoint - at least against itself :-) With the 1.7GHz P4 operating at default clock speed it comes in at 3213 it/s for ALU, and when bumped up to 1.95GHz we see that very same number rise a modest amount to 3398 it/s. Overall the increase is a good one, and the jump up of an extra 250MHz seems to be fairly painless.

Sisoft Sandra: Multimedia Benchmark
	Setting:	Integer:	Floating point SSE2:
1.	17 x 100 MHz (1.7GHz)	6795 it/s	8307 it/s
2.	17 x 115 MHz (1.95GHz)	7813 it/s	9591 it/s

There is a nice healthy increase in the overall performance of the system as the P4 is pushed to 1.95GHz. And who ever said that overclocking didn't pay?

Sisoft Sandra: Memory Bandwidth Benchmark
	Setting:	Int ALU:	Float FPU:
1.	17 x 100 MHz (1.7GHz)	1541 MB/s	1564 MB/s
2.	17 x 115 MHz (1.95GHz)	1433 MB/s	1449 MB/s

In this case you'll notice that memory bandwidth goes down as the megahertz shoot up towards the two gigahertz level. This is probably due to the fact that the RDRAM was dropped down to 300MHz, instead of the more typical 400MHz. This was done to improve the stability of the system.
