Just dropped the P4 EE review sample in my box. Haven't tweaked anything yet (on the CPU) so I don't know about overclocking. I will say that the chip runs 1-2C cooler than a P4 3.2C and in theory the extra L3 cache should help in that area.

Anyway, 1st pass initial results:

* Sandra Max3
CPU Multi-Media Benchmark (combined performance index)
index : 37268

Standalone Multimedia Benchmark
interger: 14746 / float: 23248

Standalone arithmatic benchmark:
ALU: 9313
FPU/SSE2: 2752/6136

* Aquamark3
Score: 48908

* 3DMark01 SE
Score: 20597 3D marks

* 3DMark03 v330
Score: 6579

I'll bench some games over the weekend.

had I known I would have been gaming on a XEON

thoughts?

nice - wish i had the $$ to get in on that dell deal where they were upgrading the 400sc to a 3.2 for cheap

when you do the game benches, try the hyperthread and run two at once - i have seem some reports that the second instance runs nearly as fast as the first

awesome scores man

was it worth the money?

my guess, 51 fx superior in most ocasions.

will it be worth the money? I dunno. This is a review sample.

Greg: either a dead heat or just faster, you are correct.
