Performance

This time we didn’t run any tests on an overclocked system, because it can hardly be of any interest to you. The performance gain due to FSB frequency increase was so low, that we couldn’t make the CPU work at the nominal frequency by reducing its clock multiplier. As a result, we couldn’t reveal the true performance gain from the system bus overclocking. Therefore, the performance table below contains only the results obtained at the nominal FSB frequency.

We ran our benchmarks on the following platform:

• Intel Pentium4 560 (Prescott) CPU with 800MHz bus;
• Leadtek WinFast PX6600GT TDH (GeForce 6600GT) 128MB graphics card;
• Dual Cannel DDR2 533 Patriot PDC22G4200+XBLK
• Boxed Intel cooler;
• Seagate Barracuda 80GB SATA HDD.

Here are the obtained results:
