AMD Zone overclocked A64 6000 to 3.4 GHz

Our cooling was the stock cooler mounted with the addition of a Vantec Tornado 80mm fan and it ran incredibly cool.

It would be neat if AMD could come out one more speed grade (3.2 GHz) and end the K8 line with Athlon 64 6400+.

That is the only valid way to combine multiple benchmark scores.

Not when you have horrible outliers.

By the way, a 2.5:1 anomaly with 20 benchmark scores only skews the result by 2.5^.05 or 4.7%.

Not quite the right way to think about it. When you say it that way, the "4.7%" sounds small. But that is an impact on an average.

Rather, consider that a single 2.5:1 outlier in A's favor completely neutralizes nearly TEN other benchmarks in which B has a 10% advantage.

(1.1)^10 ~= 2.5
