EVERYONE of the will fool you, even quake3 will give you a fraudulent overclock. IT's all because of how this benchmark works. What it does is make your computer think a second is longer than it really is.

so when your computer does any kind of benchmarking it will think that it did something like two seconds worth of work in one second. basically it's the timing that screwed up. Effectivly making your computer appear to be twice as fast as it really is.

best part about the hack is that I can run the benchmark with you staring over my shoulder and fool you in person. the hack is incredibly devious and just needs someone to make a more refined version for overclockers.

since it runs within windows bios screenshots should still be legit. . .but some photoshopping on that will make it lie. so a site can give a ton of different benchmarkings all making you think that they got a processor to a point that they really could never have.
