You realize thats not the 9700 Pros STOCK speed, the real perf. increase is much greater when compared to stock. Thats just the increase over his unmodded OC speeds. You're not seeing the whole picture
And ill agree, that 300fps is not better than 250fps, in any given game. The thing is when you push your stuff to the limit, and play at the highest settings possible while JUST staying playable in intensive parts, THATS when it makes a BIG difference. A 10% perf. increase when you're playing on the edge can make all the diff.
Ex: With the Cat. 3.4s, I would play ut2k3 inferno with 12 bots at 1024x768, 6xAA, 16x Quality Aniso. Sure I have a kick ass system, but you get up in someones face with a minigun while theyre shootin u with somethin', your FPS is gonna drop (there are just certain inefficiencies in the engine)!! But going from stock to OCd speeds, in this situation made a BIG difference for me! It was more playable, more of the time.
Now it's even more playable with the Omega Cat. 3.7s. Surprising difference in certain areas going from 3.4 to 3.7, as AA in ut2k3 was one highly improved area.
And uh.... now I think I can say that UT2k3 is always playable at 1024x768 6xAA 16x Qual. Aniso (at ocd speeds and with 3.7s), in the standard maps (random maps that people make and remakes are often badly designed and run comparatively poorly).
Keep in mind "playable" means different things. I wan't dual minigun battles to be possible! My friends play at settings such that dual minigun battles (or link gun or whatever [hardcore]) become unplayable - and therefore its quite easy for me to kill them

I've got somewhat of a stick up my ass right now because I'm totally loaded with school work, that I can't even concentrate on because this damn chick at my school decided to go and make me fall in LOVE with her! Sh*t.
