Re: CPU Cache disabling software?
Posted on 2020-03-06, 02:41
Maybe there is a K6-2 specific bug in SetMul that I need to fix... I am looking into this now, though not on actual K6 hardware, but I don't see the problem. Use "SetMul L1D" and "SetMul L1E" to toggle the L1 cache. Without (back)slash in front of the parameter. Text case does not matter. The …
Re: UMC UM85C418F RAM - 2MB possible + desirable?
Posted on 2020-03-04, 22:06
Nice card there. So the IDE functionality is actually in that UM85C418 chip. Just a crazy thought: Can it be solder spots for memory to use instead of the two SMD SOJ chips? My card also has solder spots for two types of memory, but they overlap, so that only one type can actually be used.

Understood, sort of.... When you write: [2.0x was not intended for customer use.] you mean by Intel ? Do you happen to have spec sheets for this kind of multiplier that you can share ? In this older topic I explained the same thing: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=28279&start=20 There I …

@ PARKE / lordmogul / UV: In case L2 cache gets disabled with such a 2.0x Klamath core setup, then the wrong multiplier request signal is being send. There are only two proper request signals with working L2 cache , which I posted earlier. On a jumperfree motherboard the proper options may not be …

Klamath core CPU multiplier 2.0x with functional L2 cache should be like this: 1-2-3-4 ON-off-off-ON or ON-off-off-off Before i will start messing around :) Do you guys think i can broke something if i try to set some random ratio on this motherboard? Sometimes you get a non-booting combination and …

Re: Are Cyrix 6x86(MX) CPUs multiplier locked?
Posted on 2020-02-26, 16:56
IIRC these MX and MII versions run at their default multiplier and lower ones. Like the 2.5x model above does 2.0x as well. They kinda support 1.5x and 1.0x multiplier, but crap out at bootup when caches are enabled. The 6x86L seems to run fine at 1.5x and 1.0x, with caches enabled. I noticed that …

Interesting and well thought out choice of parts there. In several ways similar to the setups which I have at home and at the office. But instead of Z77 these are Gigabyte Z68 models. These come with Etrontech USB 3.0 chip, which is also functional in Windows XP. These Z68 boards are Ivy Bridge CPU …

I know about 'Throttle'. I even modified that program to make it work on ALi Aladdin V chipsets. Throttle is nice to have as an option, but for many games and programs it does not give smooth results: Stutters in framerate and sound output. It is msred.com that is new to me.

Re: Wht's the fastest unlocked PII?
Posted on 2020-02-10, 22:25
Yes what I meant is because I asked two questions, one is missed. Is there a reason to slow down PII to run SVGA games or need more processing power? For several DOS SVGA games; more power will help framerate. See the benchmark table here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=28279&start=68 …

Does unlocked P!!! even exist? At least only as engineering samples, I would believe Yes, Engineering/Qualification Samples only. And not all of those have a free multiplier. IMO an unlocked Pentium II system still has its charm, regardless of the other options mentioned. Compared to Pentium 1/mmx …

AFAIK this behaviour is to be expected on a Pentium 4. The Pentium 4 is at 2GHz to 3Ghz in hardware. There are no reliable software tricks to get that to a smooth 100MHz or something of that kind. At best one can disable CPU caches and see what kinda speed it seems to resemble. In the end, if you …
Re: Wht's the fastest unlocked PII?

Last time I checked, certain multiplier can somehow force some sort of "throttling". All utilities report 5x multiplier with 20-26 Mhz bus and the system overall feels very slow. I disagree. Speedsys readout is just messing up. My SetMul tool does not say such. Pentium 2 Klamath core has a 2.0x …
