Fuchi, do you or anyone else have a 6x86mx running at 208MHz (2.5*83)? If so what voltage? I know you're running your 6x86PR133 at 166MHz, did you try 208 just to see what would happen? IF someone has taken the chance to overclock at 208MHz please comment on the performance. thanks, steve h

= Add PMMX benchmarks = In order to understand the performance difference between SDRAM and EDO on Cyrix processors, I used the following components to run Business Winstone97 under Win95: CPU: Cyrix 6x86MX-PR166 (66x2) oc to 166Mhz (83x2) Motherboard: PC-Chip TXPro M560 512K PB cache which could be disabled from CMOS. Hard Drive: IBM DHEA 6.4GB 512K cache Video Card: Maxtrox Mystique 220 4MB 1024x768x256 OS: Win95 upgrade version M2-166Mhz (83x2) Business Winstone97 ================================ 512K cache with 32MB EDO 53.0 L2 cache disabled with 32MB EDO 48.6 L2 cache disabled with 32MB SDRAM 50.5 PMMX-233Mhz (66x3.5) ================================ 512K cache with 32MB EDO 50.6 L2 cache disabled with 32MB EDO 38.5 L2 cache disabled with 32MB SDRAM 43.3 PMMX-200Mhz (66x3) ================================ 512K cache with 32MB EDO 48.3 The previously business Winstone97 on PII with and without L2 cache conducted by Ali Chen, it showed that PII-266 without L2 cache achieved similar rating of PMMX-200Mhz. (Don't know if he tested with SDRAM or EDO.) Based on these benchmark results, MediaGXm-233Mhz with SDRAM might outperform the cacheless PII-266 with everyday applications if Cyrix team added some performance twists towards GXm. If this holds true, we will be doing very well with MediaGXm for '98. Fuchi ... who loves Cyrix's innovations Please support the PC industry & protect consumer interest techstocks.com
