After doing some overclocking (although not major overclocking) to my
Sempron 64 2800+ (socket 754), (Increased the FSB to 225 to get it to
1.8GHz) it benchmarked to nearly the equivalent of an Athlon 64 3000+ socket
939 processor. Not quite, but it was close. Not bad for a Sempy, half the
cache of that Athlon 64, and using my PC-2100 RAM.
 
Aye that's nice :oD

Guess what? I overclocked it more. It's still running stable at stock
voltage now at 2GHz. That means the temperatures should be affected hardly
at all. (It'll probably run even better when I get rid of my PC-2100 RAM
and put in some PC-3200 RAM around the middle of next month.) One of the
reasons I brought the overclocking up actually had to do with Windows Vista,
so here's the question. Does the WinSAT look at the specifications of your
componets or does it actually test them out to actually see the computer's
abilities? (Does this mean that an overclocked processor will probably get
a higher WinSAT rating than a processor at stock speeds?) By the way, I've
heard lots of people get these Semprons to 2.4 - 2.6GHz and still running
stable, with good RAM.
