You'll need to provide benchmarks supporting this claim. Actually, don't
bother--I can disprove it. Personally, I have a Cel 300, and it has
noticeably lower performance in the Phobia demo at 300mhz than when I
overclock it to 450mhz.

300mhz: 27fps
450mhz: 39fps

Care to revise your bullsh*t statement? And notice, too, that you've claimed
your Athlon 750 gets 50fps. Sounds like it accurately tests CPU performance
(among other things), huh?

I should point out that my results were at 800x600. However, that is
irrelevent in this case: since I'm CPU-limited, at 300mhz I'd still get
about 27fps. And from testing 640x480 at 450mhz, I know that I still get
39fps. I don't know why you're having so much trouble using the Phobia
benchmark. Perhaps it's a case of user error.
