Benchmarks:

I decided to use a combination of graphic related & raw cpu benchmarks to show the overall performance that can be gained from the overclocking potential of this CPU. The benchmarks that were used were Mad Onion's 3DMark 2000, Quake 3 Arena w/1.17 point release, Sisoft Sandra, and Distributed.net's DNetC program. I ran the benchmarks at the following speeds:

700MHz (100FSB)
933MHz (133FSB)
1050MHZ (150FSB)
1120MHz (160FSB)

Going from 100MHz FSB to 133MHz FSB really gives you a big jump in performance. If that is all my CPU did I would be happy, but seeing as how it went up to 1.12GHz I'm just overjoyed! The numbers really speak for themselves as to the awesome performance you get when you reach around the 1 GHz mark. Also the increase in memory bus speed really alleviates one of the major bottlenecks of my system.

To prove I wasn't just faking these numbers, I took some screenshots when benchmarking at 1.12GHz.
