Benchmarks: BAPCo SYSmark 2000

In spite of the slow memory timings I had to use at 166 MHz, SYSmark was still scoring better than at 133 MHz. Of course it's quite senseless to overclock your system to 166 MHz only for office applications. Let's take a look at the game benchmarks.

Just as we expected, a 166 MHz system is ahead 133 MHz configurations at the same core clock speed. But the distance is not ample at all.
