Not to beat an old dead thread but,

            I shaved a little 6 seconds from the skyvase benchmark just by
choosing "load high performance settings" in my BIOS (Ami). From 108 seconds
to 102  it's a 5.5% improvement (1). Nothing dramatic but certainly less
risky than overclocking. My motherboard offers me two settings for the Front
Bus Speed : 66 Mhz for the Celeron 366A that I run or death at 100Mhz unless
I switch to a P II-III.


(1) That's 1h20 odd minutes a day,  20 days 1 hour 48 minutes a year,  a
little more than 4 years a lifetime (average male) %<))
