Stock (Man ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) oh, really? Intel Pentium has difficulties at 100 MHz system frequency The BIOS of the test motherboard could not at all deal with the latest Cyrix and IBM 6x86MX processor, thus only AMD's K6 and Intel's Pentium Classic and Pentium MMX could be used for the tests. The K6 passed the test runs with no problems whatsoever, while tries to get the Pentium running at 100 MHz system clock where utterly unsuccessful. Admittedly Intel never designed this processor for such a high system clock frequency, although it does run fine at 75 and even 83 MHz. AMD's K6 was obviously designed off the bat for this faster system frequency, since AMD had already announced the future move to 100 MHz system frequency when introducing the K6. This left only the K6 for comparisons between 66 and 100 MHz system clock frequency. tomshardware.com Any more questions? ha-ha-ha-ha with engineers like you intel NEEDS HEEEEEEEELP :-))
