steve, all 751 chips made by AMD since late December or so have the Super Bypass feature. Some BIOS'es enable this feature automatically. amdzone.com is a good source for this info. The super bypass mode adds typically 1/2 a speed grade to a full speed grade (50 MHz) to the performance of the Athlon, especially on memory intensive benchmarks, which are the ones that CuMine beats the Athlon.
