Creating this thread as a place to hold benchmarks in relation to this thread:
Best gaming CPU for LGA775 + Windows XP

If you want to add results for your motherboard(s) and CPU(s), it would probably be best to reserve at least 5 posts so you are able to put a bunch of data in one place without it being spread all throughout the thread.

I plan on putting a benchmark package together along with instructions and needed pre-requisites so we can have a standard benchmark package for this thread.

This will include:
Pre-requisites: .Net 3.5 and 4.0
DirectX 9.0c (latest release)
WSUS offline for XP

Benchmarks:
3DMark 2001 SE
3DMark03
3DMark05
3DMark06
Aida64 Extreme v7.0.0.6700
Cinebench 2003
Cinebench R10
Unigine Sanctuary
Unigine Tropics
Unigine Heaven 4.0
Unigine Valley 1.0

Games - you will need to acquire if you don't already own them:
Crysis
F.E.A.R Platinum / Ultimate Shooter Edition - Regular F.E.A.R should be ok as well, but this is what I have. The current GOG version does not work in XP and the Steam version needs to have Steamless run on it to remove the Steam DRM so it can run without Steam being installed.

It will probably be a couple more days before I post any results, so feel free to post games or other benchmark software you would like to see included.
For games, they must have a built-in benchmark tool or a readily available benchmark tool.

Ok, here we go. This took quite a while longer to get everything set up an initial testing done.
There is way too much data to be posted so posted results will be abbreviated and I will attach zipped up full result sets.
Graphs may come later and posts may be reformatted.

Motherboard: ASUS P5E3 Premium

First CPU: Pentium D 965 EE 3.73Ghz
This board doesn't particularly care for this CPU as it give an error and I have to go into BIOS each time it is cold booted.
