Buggy to the max!!!
I was trying to tweak a new 2.66b to hit 3.6Ghz using a 4:5 ratio. My target is actually get it up to 200FSB, but cooling is the limitation and though I can boot at 180FSB (3.60 Ghz) I can only bench successfully at 178FSB (3.56 Ghz).
After burn in of the CPU, and lots of simultaneous and parralel benchmarks (i.e. SiSoft, SuperPi, Prime95, 3DMarkSe01), I decided to give it a simple benchmark, running only one application. I decided I'd go for 3DMark03. The result is, well, astounding.
The first test of 3DMark, I got 6.5k++ score. I repeated it, and got 6.9k++ which is not so far off from the first score. So I rebooted, and run the benchmark, and got goofy score yet again, ranging from 6.6k-6.8k. Again, I did a final reboot, and run the benchmark one last time. And I got a 7k!!!! Woah..........so to ensure I am not joking myself, I tried to submit the score to FutureMark and see if it's going to accept, and YAY, it's for you to decide!
Freaky HIS 9600 (non Pro, non XT, non SE) score

After that, I went back to sleep :)...I'll do the test later today when I get back from office...
