BENCHMARKING IS A GREAT WAY TO CHECK YOUR SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE AFTER OVERCLOCKING YOUR SYSTEM. THEIR ARE MANY GREAT UTILITIES OUT THEIR FOR THIS, ONE THAT I USE IS CALLED SISOFT SANDRA 98 STANDARD IT IS SHAREWARE AND HAS EVERY FEATURE IMAGINABLE AND BENCHES EVERY PART OF YOUR SYSTEM. USE THE LINKS BELOW TO GET SISOFT AND START BENCHING YOUR SYSTEM. REMEMBER TO WRITE DOWN YOUR RESULTS BEFORE AND AFTER YOU OVERCLOCKED YOUR MACHINE SO YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES EACH TIME YOU CHANGE A SETTING ON YOUR COMPUTER.

PLEASE DO TELL US OF ANY GOOD LINKS TO OTHER BENCHMARKING SOFTWARE.

BELOW ARE SOME OF MY BENCHMARK SCORES OF MY OWN MACHINE, WHICH IS A K6-2 450MHZ CPU. WHAT I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING ABOUT THE SCORES WAS THE FACT THAT AT THE DEFAULT SPEED OF 450MHZ IT WAS A FAIR SHAKE OF THE STICK IN FRONT OF AN 400MHZ INTEL P2, AND NOT AS FAR BEHIND AS I WOULD OF THOUGHT IN THE FPU ARENA, INFACT ONLY 16 MFLOPS. I THINK THESE SCORES GO TO PROVE THAT THE K6-2 CHIPS CAN HOLD THERE OWN AND ARE NOT AS UNDERPOWERED AS SOME THINK. ALSO THE PRICE ALONE BETWEEN A 400MHZ P2 AND K6-2 450MHZ IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO STAY WITH A K6-2, AT THE TIME OF WRITING I CAN BUY A K6-2 500MHZ FOR $135 AUSTRALIAN AND THE CHEAPEST I CAN GET A CELERON 500MHZ IS $240 AUSTRALIAN. YOU DECIDE WHO IS RIPPING WHO OFF. NUFF SAID!

JUST CHANGING TO 500MHZ GAVE ME A GOOD IMPROVEMENT, AND PROVES ONCE AGAIN THAT THE OLD MYTH OF MORE MHZ FOR A K6 DOES NOTHING IS WRONG, NEARLY 100MIPS AND OVER 50 MFLOPS MORE. AND NO CHANGE TO THE VOLTAGE.

HERE WE SEE THE BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT, WE HAVE LEFT THE 100MHZ BUS AND JUMPED TO 112MHZ AND IT SHOWS, 156 MIPS MORE AND 67 MFLOPS MORE THAN THE 500MHZ OC. I JUMPED UP THE VOLTAGE BY .1V TO GET IT STABLE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 450MHZ AND 560MHZ 112FSB IS FANTASTIC FOR THIS TYPE OF CHIP, A FULL 253 MIPS AND 122 MFLOPS ABOVE ITS SAID RATING OF 450MHZ.

THE NEXT STEP FOR ME IS TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME 133MHZ SDRAM SO I CAN BENCHMARK IT AT A HIGHER BUS SPEED OF 112MHZ CAS 3. JUDGING BY THESE SCORES IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY HOOT AT 133MHZ BUS OR 124MHZ. CANT WAIT!!!!
