Which benchmark program?

[Taz]

I've been playing around with overclocking my Q6600 to 3.0GHz and it has been a painless exercise and my system appears to be running fine. I've run the paid-for Futuremark Vantage 64 benchmarking program and took about 1.5 hours and gave me a score.

However, what i'm after is a benchmark program that will show me my score relative to other systems (and their specs) so that I have an idea of how worthwhile the overclock is. I am running Vista 64-bit if that matters.

So, which benchmark program do people recommend that will show my results compared to similar systems? I want to do a 'before' and 'after' benchmark. What i'm trying to get to is to put a price on the value of the overclock by showing which CPU I have avoided upgrading to by simply overclocking my existing CPU.

Doesn't Futuremark do this?

1) Run Vantage at stock settings.
2) Use results browser to compare your score to all the other systems benchmarked and their stats.
3) Run Vantage at overclocked settings.
4) Use results browser to compare your score to all the other systems benchmarked and their stats.

^ Maybe I missed something? At the end of the Vantage-64 test I uploaded the results and it took me to Web site where it showed me that my benchmark score was similar to 30 other systems. However, I couldn't find a way of finding the specs of those systems. I guess I was a little disappointed having paid for Vantage but I could have missed something!

^ Thanks for that. That's what I was looking for.
