Notes

Since one of our FC-PGA P3 processors was able to overclock to 750MHz we thought it would be fun to throw the overclocked processor up against the Athlon 750. Also note that we used the Nvidia Detonator 3.62 drivers with the Athlon system. The 3.62 drivers are necessary because the GeForce has trouble with AGP 2X on Athlon system. The 3.62 drivers force Athlon systems to use AGP 1X with GeForce video cards.
