Still a good bit more than a GHz overclock on a CPU from an architecture that newer released past 3.8 ... That's pretty neat

Oh yeah! It's been a fun little diversion playing with this stuff.

After I finish the current benchmark run I am going to try bumping the voltage up by quite a bit to see if it'll do anything more.

EDIT - getting way up there on voltage and it just will not do anything past 265 on the bus speed. Oh well, it's been fun. I might eventually throw the Q9550 into this board (if it's compatible) and see if anything can be squeezed out of it too but for now that's that with this 775 stuff.

Thank you for this little experiment!

Looks like in the end $40 Conroe released mere year later at 1/10 P4 price is the OC winner 😀

haha yeah the Celeron is a decent CPU for sure.

But the Core 2 Q9550 annihilates both!

There's a reason why Anandtech named this article that way ...

Yup Core2 was for sure an absolute win for Intel, and to think its really at its heart a modded,souped up Pentium III.

You really can teach an old dog new tricks and Core2 is that proof.
