kap - <"a chip you can't find, for a platform that doesn't work, using memory you can't afford". > Nice job of selective reporting. OK, so for the sake of argument, 133FSB isn't your cup of tea. Notice how the quote you selectively reported is bracketed: theregister.co.uk Although the test machine was running Win2K RC2, which no doubt slows things down a tad, it still delivered a commendable 2029.5 MIPS and 800.7MFLOPS, according to WinTune 98. This compared pretty favourably to an identical Sun River equipped with a 500MHz Deschutes PIII running Win98SE, which returned 1452.9MIPS and 574.3MFLOPS. We also tried the 600MHz Deschutes under Win98 in a Seattle 2 mobo, where it performed roughly on a par with the Win2K machine.... But the performance of the 100MHz Cumine seems to suggest that sticking with the 100MHz FSB parts might not be such a daft option after all. And having had our fingers burned (literally) by early Pentium IIIs, we were also mightily impressed by the cool performance of the 0.18 micron Cumine, which suggests it might be quite happy running a bit faster -- watch this space.
