Graphics Benchmarks
All effects were set to their lowest setting, and run at 1024x768 without anisotropic filtering or anti-aliasing, to highlight general throughput and minimize GPU bottlenecking.
3DMark06
The de facto standard in synthetic video benchmarking. Results are in 3DMarks, and higher is better.

Half-Life 2: Episode 1
Using our own timedemo, we test the deservedly ubiquitous DirectX 9.c Source Engine. Results are in FPS, and higher is better.

BIOS and Overclocking
The BIOS options are more than enough to satisfy the overclocker on a budget. It allows fine-tuning of the major memory settings and liberal voltage options, certainly promising more than what the hardware could actually tolerate.
Overclocking was literally straightforward. It went until it came to a wall. Fortunately, that wall is quite a long way away from stock, and I got an incredible 3.33GHz from a 2.4GHz processor. The FSB, however, broke at 400; not that the CPU could really exceed that, but the FSB wouldn't go a single 10,000,000 hertz past 400, even if I skipped past the next few million. Once I hit the CPU's wall, it wouldn't go past it, even with better voltage, but maybe a lot of negative BTU could give it a little more reach.
