Sorry to break it to you, but you did not do 4.8 on a Q6600. I had mine up to 4.9 on DICE and it is number 25 in the world. Don't know what you actually had it at until we see a CPUz screenshot, but I can guarantee it was not 4.8ghz. Especially after a 48hr test..
Oh and

This website, maybe?
800FSB would be INCREDIBLE. I highly doubt it is possible. Under dry ice with a Q6600 I hit 510FSB (on a TERRIBLE P45 motherboard, so bare with me) for a clock speed of 4590MHz. Remember that was on DICE and DICE temps, which is the only way it was possible.
@ The OP: Post up some pictures of CPU-Z. Show the "CPU" "Memory" and "SPD" tabs. You can run multiple instances of CPUZ to show all the tabs in one image instead of three.
EDIT: Here is the score I was talking about.
