very high fsb speeds, a voltage modded card, extreme(to the max extreme) cooling. there are in fact several people who have broken the 10k barrier on the default benchmark, and they are all very well off and can afford to blow a few video cards and some motherboards, not to mention cpus. DJ, or DigitalJesus on MO, or Alan to his buds, has long been the king tweaker of MadOnion, and it's not been until recently that anyone's challenged his scores with scores of their own. There is now a rivalry between 3 major players, DJ, Macci, and Gibbo, all members of MO, they are all above 10k, a couple well above 10k, and close to 11k, they spend fortunes on hardware and spend days tweaking and overclocking like madmen. It's a very interesting soap opera to watch, the threads at MO pop up every once in a while, "DJ in the lead now, Macci look out" or "Macci just passed on the inside of turn 3, DJ's on the comeback". Lotsa fun, wish i had the dough to burn too.

Yeh, Macci is quite amazing. He was the first to break the 10,000 barrier as well with that dry ice bong contraption he rigged up. Got a 1.6GHz P4 up to well over 2GHz and overclocked the crap out of his GF3 with a similar dry ice setup on it.
