Just added a Cyrix 6x86 MII PR333 (75MHz x 3.5) @ 262 MHz.
First Cyrix on the list, nice! Looks like it's right on par with the K6-II 233 overall. The Cyrix has higher memory bandwidth, the K6-II slightly more processing power.
Added my other Cyrix MII 333, this one is on a ALi Aladdin 5 motherboard(83 MHz x 3.0) for 250 MHz, it's quite a bit slower than the other machine on the SiS 5591/5595 despite slower bus speed of 75 MHz. SiS chipsets do really like the Cyrix, Linear burst mode is enabled(I've edited my spreadsheet entry now it's enabled, the CMOS battery was flat so BIOS defaults had been loaded, sorted that out now with a new CR2032!), I don't think the ALi has that option.

Added Athlon64 X2 4200+, it was running v9.20 x64 version on XP64.
Does the disk performance matter for this benchmark? This system is running from an SSD, not sure if that should be noted. Seems like it ranks higher than I would expect so I'm wondering if that's why.
First time I've edited one of these things. I checked the revision history and it's highlighting as if I edited a couple cells below the row I added. I didn't touch them so I don't know why it says that but I compared with the previous version to make sure the values didn't change.

Everything looks good shamino. The SSD shouldn't effect the score unless you're in a very low-RAM system (even then, the ssd should let you run the benchmark on a low ram system with comparable results). There's lots I don't understand about what Sheets shows in the revisions. But when I first made this sheet, I set up the cpu usage column as a formula that would auto-fill when you put in the rating and rating per usage. But it wasn't set up very clearly, so people just typed the percentage in. If you check those two below your entry, they are using the formula, whereas the surrounding entries are typed in. That might have something to do with the revision weirdness.
Ran a few tests on my Phenom2 machine. It's triple booting right now so I tried 3 OSes:
Phenom2 X2 555 (2x 3.2GHz) (WinXP64)
The attachment 7z - XP64 2x3.2GHz 2threads 2.png is no longer available
Phenom2 OC and unlocked to 3 cores (3x3.6GHz) (WinXP64, 4 execution threads used):
The attachment 4threadsc.png is no longer available
Both of these above scores were posted to the spreadsheet.
The following are for curiosity, I did not post them but feel free to add them if you don't think it's just clutter:
Same clocking, this time in WinXP32:
The attachment 7z - XP32 4threads 2.png is no longer available
I think the score is supposed to be an average of Compressing MIPS and Decompressing MIPS on line 25 (32MB), so that score is 10220.
So with the same system and CPU clocking, WinXP32 scored 9467, WinXP64 scored 10087, and Mint x64 scored 10220. There is some variance of course, with these being the best of a few runs each. I don't think the difference between linux and XP64 is repeatable/significant, but the slight gap between 32bit and 64bit was definitely there.
One thing about the "Number of CPU threads" setting:
7zip doesn't allow using 3 CPU threads so with my 3-core system I set it to 4. I also tried using 6. I found that using an excessive number of threads increases the score a bit further by a few hundred points (I didn't post pics of those). Since everyone up to now has been using a number of threads that matches the number of CPU cores, to be as consistent as possible with that my triple core score used 4 threads, not 6.
I wish I still had a Pentium Extreme Edition-capable motherboard... I remember upgrading from that ridiculous CPU ("Presler XE", dual-core Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading) to a Pentium Dual-Core (Conroe/Allendale) and almost everything I did was noticeably faster. I had the PEE 965 (my favorite acronym for it,) usually overclocked to 4 GHz - a $999, 130W CPU. I "upgraded" to a Pentium Dual-Core E2180 at 2 GHz, an $84, 65W CPU. (I was actually turning my former gaming rig in to a server, at the same time I dropped the PCIe GPU in favor of onboard graphics; I had gotten a new Core 2 Extreme gaming rig.) "Max benchmark" power on the new config was lower than idle power was on the old - and for almost everything CPU-related, it benchmarked faster.
Sadly, I ended up frying that motherboard, and my only S775 board is Core 2+ only.

I already tested and OC'ed both PXE* 965/840 versions 😀
Also : Almost all Core 2 MB's should support "PEE 965" (since it has 1066MHz FSB).
