There is about a 5% performance increase which isn't too bad
for just increasing the FSB! Unfortunately, it would be unnoticeable by
the average office user.

Content Creation Winstone
2001 keeps multiple applications open at once and switches among those
applications. Content Creation Winstone 2001's activities focus on what we call
"hot spots," periods of activity that make your PC really work--the times where
you're likely to see an hourglass or a progress bar.
Business Winstone is a
system-level, application-based benchmark that measures a PC's overall
performance when running today's Windows-based 32-bit applications on Windows 98
ME, Windows NT 4.0 (SP6 or later), Windows 2000, Windows Me, or Windows XP which
runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time
a PC takes to complete those activities to produce its performance
scores.
It's not much of a surprise that the scores here are within the
margin of error since the CPU speed was the same. Bus speed doesn't affect
office based applications like it does to 3D games.
WinBench 99 is a
subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a PC's graphics,
disk, and video subsystems in a Windows environment. WinBench 99's tests can run
on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows Me
systems.

Unfortunately with the death of our 30.7 GB IBM DeskStar 75GXP, we
were forced to use one of our spare 10GB Maxtor's... As you can see here,
our disk performance is utterly terrible! That's not the fault of the
motherboard! It's the hard drive! As for the graphics benchmarks, the increased
AGP speed resulting from the overclocking does seem to improve performance quite a
bit!
