Oh, BTW, I'm running SETI again. CPU is running at 3.3GHz and SETI
at 100%. Core temps sit around 43�C constantly. I'm comfortable with
that. When BOINC started it benchmarked the CPU. 3180 floating point
MIPs (Whetstone) per CPU and 7128 integer MIPs (Dhrystone) per CPU.
That's quite a bit higher than it was before I overclocked it.

Very nice. I'm not near the Q6600 machine, but I think (from memory)
that one is around the 2400/6500 mark.

Ok, I was hoping for figures to give me some idea. It's just a shame I've 
only got two cores. <g>

Just got home, re-ran the benchmarks two times, and I get:

2326 & 2328 floating point MIPS and 5332 & 5420 integer MIPS. So I was a 
bit optimistic, but keep in mind Diablo II was running in the background 
(DCLone parking ;)), so I'm not sure how much influence that has...
