Some feedback on the PR233 running at 90mhz bus !!! on Mtech R581A... From John Howland , The guy that sold me my Mtech R581A board : M-Tech R581A BIOS 003, 96MB 10ns SDRAM (3x32MB DIMM), Quantum FB ST 2.1GB, STB Velocity 128 4MB AGP, Win95 OSR2.1 1024x768-64K. 6x86MX PR233 K6 233 Boxed K6 233 Boxed 2.5x90=225MHz 2.5x90=225MHz 3.5x66=233MHz Cachechk 6 L1 909.4 929.9 L2 852.9 335.1 L3 215.4 Main 149.5 175.0 Read 56 48 Write 89 92 Cbench VGA 301.1 282.4 fps 180.6 169.4 SVGA 77.4 80.3 fps 46.4 48.1 Quake 1.06 320x200 36.4 41.7 PCBench 9.0 DOS 2868.72 2688.35 CPU16 661.16 695.44 Video 15229.68 10910.20 Disk 1681.73 1571.44 Winbench97 B Disk 2020 1610 1680 H Disk 6550 5200 5240 CPU16 549 483 474 CPU32 592 660 582 B Graph 121 115 107 H Graph 54.2 47.5 43.6 Winstone97 Business 60.2 57.2 55.0 High End 27.2 26.5 25.1 3D Winbench97 106 133 131 Note: Due to the extreme speed of the CPU Cachechk reports there are 3 caches for the 6x86MX - that's incorrect. The above test started out just to see how stable the system was with 3 SDRAM DIMM's installed - from there I thought I'd see how far I could push the 6x86MX, then tried the K6. No hard crashes with the 6x86MX did have a few recoverable errors in Winstone, pretty darn good for a CPU only rated for 188MHz. K6 233 was 100% stable at 2.5x90=225MHz. I'm now going to run these same benchmarks myself .. wohooooooo !!! and will keep you posted :) Mourad
