Anyone running Pro/E would definetely not be running on overclocked systems. Reliability is a must, a crash (esp if any data is corrupted would cost +++ $ (esp if the errors are not discovered) Overclocked systems are OK for games where a crash means you lose a chance for a high score, in business the person buying, recommending (or even using) an overclocked system would most likely lose his job when something goes wrong. I think the author of that benchmark is caught up in doing benchmarks as opposed to real work. If one takes this into account, and the fact that Pro/E is run by businesses who would most likely make very conservative hardware purchase decisions, recommending an overclocked Athlon system over an Intel one is going way out on a limb.
