OVERCLOCKING & BENCHMARKS

This particular review will stray from our normal test equipment just for the sake of those running or are planning to run newer hardware. I'll be using a higher end video card, hard drive and a Slot-1 Coppermine for the tests. 

I'll be testing with the following:

Asus P3V4X Bios Revision: 1003 (Box Settings)

* - This was used for the actual benchmarks.

All tests were run with the box settings. I didn't do any tweaking in the bios except for the processor settings. Everything else was left alone.

All 3DMark2000 tests used a resolution of 1024x768x16-bit Color.

I used the Via 4-in-1 Version 4.17 drivers in all tests due to a known issue where performance is slower with the newer drivers. I will update this as soon as Via releases new drivers that fix the issue.
