* - At 133 MHz FSB we were using the 3/4 memory divider which means memory was running 354 MHz and was using 2-2-2-5 memory timings.

** - At 165 MHz FSB with the 3/4 memory divider enabled we were running 454 MHz with 2-2-2-5 timings.

As you can see there are some nice bandwidth increases due to overclocking. Let's see if this translate into some real world performance boosts.

PCMark 2002	Source: MadOnion

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...
