AMD Athlon Overclocking Guide

SYSMark 2000 is very SSE oriented which is why we see such a drastic change from the scores we just looked at under Content Creation Winstone 2000.

The increased clock speed, the 150MHz FSB setting and the 150MHz memory bus frequency keep the 550E running at 825MHz at the top of the list followed by two more overclocked FC-PGAs. Once again we see VIA's memory timing issues creep up as the slower FC-PGA 733 on a BX outpaces the 750 on VIA's Apollo Pro 133A.

In a close fourth place is the Athlon running at 850MHz which is doing quite well considering the degree of SSE optimization in SYSMark 2000.
