Ok, so, I ran it again @:

2.75GHz
12.5x220
and I got 45.6something.

dang close, but it's hard as heck with this ram.  It wont take 225 w/ 2.75 volts, but it will take 220 w/ 2.65...

And this mobo has some shotty temp sensors.  Shoots from ~37C to ~53C and back as soon as load hits and recedes...

Thats why I tend to trust the crappy temp sensors on my case (reporting in @ 37C idle and 41C load on THE HEATPIPE)

Greg, RAM must be the deciding factor because a 3500+ @ 2.62GHz by itself cannot beat an FX-55 @ 2.6GHz. But, I guess your overclock to 2.712GHz took the lead.

What settings did you tweak to get 40 seconds? I thought your RAM was giving trouble...

Thanks for cleaning that up.  Anyways... a normal Athlon 64 should beat my FX-55 when at the same clock speed.  The FX-55 is slightly less efficient that the other Athlon 64's, but because of it strained silicon and un-locked multi, it is much more over-clocker friendly.  But, I can take it to over 2.75 with both videocards and the CPU on stock cooling!

That 40 sec... that was just a joke... to show how easy it is to manipulate screenshots.  If you look closely, the CPU speed, the multi, and the FSB all have less artifacting around them, and are a slightly different color than the rest.  Plus, there is no '.0' after the multi, because I was too lazy to put that in.  In the DOS box, there is some slight differences between the 0's (which were really 8's).

This is with nothing running except BitTorrent.

Kahrn, your Celeron D @ stock speed was 6 seconds slower than my Athlon XP @ stock. ;) And your Celeron D overclocked @ 2.8GHz is only 3 seconds less than my Athlon XP in score. :P
