Wouldn't shoving a C2Q into a an old 775 require more than a BIOS update?

I thought about putting a Q6600 into my Pentium D machine... but then I checked that the chipset doesn't support C2Q even with a bios update.
I was going to built her a quad setup anyway so I got the DFI DK P35-T2RS which supports the duo/quad chips. I saw a cheapo P4 661 so I figured I'd get it and test how far it'll go and how it compared with my old Opteron @ 3GHz. So far even at 4.7GHz and with some low timings on some Crucial BallistiX Tracer memory it isn't looking good vs the Opty.

The text file can be copy and pasted into excel.

I've found 3 bugs in the VS compiler in the last 8 months... 2 of them related to high memory usage in x64... I think it's safe to say that not too many people use VS for high-memory programming.
Good news about the release of v0.4.2, I'm glad to see the batch mode added. Have you tried testing the Intel compiler? I had some decent luck with it even on AMD machines. The profile guided optimization can really give some programs a boost. I have a feeling most of your cpu time is spent on hand optimized assembly so PGO likely wouldn't be of any benefit but I figure I'd mention it just in case you haven't messed with it yet.
