CPU Overclocking Results
We kept the same 1.60 V limit already applied to our Core 2 Duo E6750 in part one of this two-part series, and thus reached this processor’s same 4.16 GHz frequency limit.
Even though it contains two of the same dies on a single socket package, the Core 2 Extreme QX6850 was not nearly as FSB-friendly as the E6750. Even at its standard 9x multiplier, the QX6850 barely exceeded 3.80 GHz, so we tried a 10x multiplier and finally breached 4 gigahertz.

Can anyone still not see them? They seem to be alright now...
Like many flight sim enthusiasts, I am trying to decide the most cost-effective CPU for FSX SP1. This can use multi-cores we're told but reports suggest not that well.
Could you add FSX SP1 (under Vista) to your benchmarks for CPUs please? I am particularly interested to know whether the E6850 is better than the Q6600 or not!
