Please note that the Athlon64 FX-60 system was using two GeForce 7800GTXs running in SLI - that score is shown simply for reference. The overall results for the Intel Pentium D 940 do not see much of a boost from overclocking, but the CPU score certainly does. Overclocking to 4.4GHz pushes the Pentium D 940 into Athlon64 FX-62 territory!
