Or get a Pentium 90, which will do 75 MHz (25 x 3), 90 MHz (30 x 3), and 100 MHz (33 x 3) with no issues. Running a P75 at 100 MHz is quite a stretch and most likely not reliable. No, let me re-phrase this. I want to use one CPU. I just want to be able to down clock it to 268@10mhz speed. I want …

I got a couple Pentium MMX 75mhz CPU’s for my Ultimate DOS gaming computer test build. I found the 486dx4-100 too slow for NEWER DOS games so I am experimenting with the Pentium CPU now. I want to find the sweet spot between the CPU speeds of the 286-10mhz thru Pentium class CPU. Using just ONE …

You need to think like an astronaut living on a hostile planet. This planet is trying to kill us and every living thing. Every thing lives and dies on this planet. Humans need to reproduce so life can continue. Many forces are trying to take humans down including this virus and sickness and diseases …

Europeans came to America's to make MONEY !..... But they Chopped down all the forest and trees in the process and polluted the Air with smoke. The Bees and insects are NOW dying. And bird and animals and fish. We need these creatures for food and to pollinate the trees. With-out Air we all DIE.... …

Guys, does US postal service work more or less as usual? I have a (delayed) order that is supposed to be sent from New Mexico to California. I'm not in US myself, so don't really understand what's going on there in terms of daily life. Actually, The USA mail man has been working quicker than before …

Yeah, I am going to put the Pentium on this Intel Motherboard and the K6 on the Via chipset motherboard. Then I will compare performance at various speeds.

I doubt you would be able to achieve this level of performance (or lack thereof) with a Pentium-class CPU. But for all means try something that runs at 50 MHz FSB. You can actually jumper your Pentium 100 (66x1.5) to run at 75 MHz (50x1.5). My feeling is that it would run roughly as fast as 386 SX- …

Yes, that is a really nice computer. A dream build for some back in 1993/94. It would have cost allot of money back then about $5000. But still would not have meet your expectations as modern DOS games play better on a Pentium CPU. That is my primary to have a good computer for playing DOS games as …

I am doing just the opposite. I am starting with a Pentium and seeing how slow I can clock it down to. Currently I am using this setup with an AMD K5-100mhz CPU. By disabling all the caches on the CPU and Motherboard I have been able to slow it down to a 386@40mhz. My goal is to take a Pentium CPU …

Fixed. I added an CF card reader to this build and the CF card was causing it to hang. I used the tool “Clearhdd” to setup the CF card and it worked fine after that.

I am currently testing an AMD K5-100 CPU build because I found the 486dx4-100 just to inadequate for playing modern DOS games. By disabling the CPU caches I have been able to slow the K5 down to a 386dx@40mhz. My goal is to go as slow as a 286@10 mhz which I was able to do with my 486dx4-100 CPU. …
