- blitz 122.34% 73.40fps
- blitz2k 121.94% 73.16fps
- blitz99 120.27% 68.55fps"
So, Blitz was fairly playable on your machine?

Totally, still a little sound stutter now and then but I think that's to do with having vsync on and playing on an LCD monitor.
(I suck at this game totally so I haven't tried to play it much as yet)
The settings I used to benchmark are design to give as close to an ingame score as possible, most MAME benchmarks are CPU preformance tests which are usefull to developemer, but not to those trying to play the game.

For all those looking for more details of my overclocking setting, I'll post them up tonight, I'm late for work at the moment.

Killer Instince 2 has sped up tremendously on my AMD 4400 64x2. Wargods as well.
But the former is all I cared about. Well...I am jealous about NFL Blitz, but at least I have the Dreamcast for that one.

Great to see the benchmarks. Thanks! :applaud:
FWIW, according to most mameDev, an PM optimized build is better suited for core 2 CPUs than i686 optimization. Do you mind testing that? (Someone said it really helped propcycl, but the site has changed since then.)
Also, as the link above hints, 0.120u1 is supposed to help some of these games go even faster. (But note some tested slower, too.)

how the hell did you overclock so well? just good cooling? my air coolong is v good and my motherboards cooling is good as well (+i have a big case with lots of venaltion) so how far do you think i could overclock mine to without mods?

*Most* Duo Cores Overclock well, (some better than others ;) )
with a decent Mobo.
I've got an E4300 1.8GHZ overclocked to 3.0 GHZ on air with a big heatsink. It's on 24/7 .
E6850 OC'd to 4.0 GHZ isn't a problem with the right equipment.
Here is a little help...
