Sharky oc'ed with frontside bus only. I have yet to see more than 10 mhz on the EV6 bus, so needless to say, this explains the sad performance. Of course, Sharky had a stock system from AMD, down to the tnt2m64 8meg video. Tom however had the A7v, Asus' socket A entry. The board has dips to set the clock multiplier, as well as jumpers for voltage. This is why he was so successful. And although its not a large detail, he got 3 700's and a 650 to 950.
