Welcome to the Old school is Best School Season 3, a contest series created specifically for overclockers that enjoy benching on very old, classic hardware. Each month-long round features five stages, each with unique hardware and benchmarks.

In Round 4 of the Old School is Best School contest we have an opportunity to go back in time and bench on the classic AMD Socket A platform (also known as Socket 462). When it comes to graphics overclockers must use an Nvidia GeForce 2 series card. Stage 1 is all about the highest CPU frequency possible (percentage OC) while Stage 2 involves benching the 3DMark01 app. Stage 3 takes us back in time to CineBench 03. Verification screenshots and system pictures are required for each stage.
