After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Benchmarks - Overclocked 200Mhz
75MRN Overclocked
This time there are two sets of reference numbers, the green bars represent the same system at the same speed using an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro video card. The yellow bars represent the same system running at default speed using the IGP.
Wcpuid 200Mhz
SiSoft Sandra
2x256 Corsair Platinum TwinX DDR400 - Running synchronous with the FSB speed. It would appear that the IGP degrades memory performance when overclocked, not by much but it is noticable.
Cachemem
Here is something you wouldn't expect to see, a very low framerate from the onboard video controller when the system is overclocked.
