OVERCLOCKING
Now seeing that what I tested is an engineering sample, I will not be
overclock benchmarking this CPU other than showing you the highest stable
overclock running Prime95 torture test for 24 hours. This is not a retial
CPU and will not represent the overclock you could get out of a retail
version.

All I could muster out of this particular sample is a
lowly 225Mhz system bus with even the memory divider at 3/2 which severely
underclocks the memory. But remember, Intel engineering samples never
overclock very well nor do they represent the retail product which from
what I have heard does leaps and bounds better in this department. Just
to be safe, with tongue firmly implanted in cheek, Intel does not support
or condone overclocking in anyway. It voids the warranty and could "potentially"
damage your computer.
