Re: K6-2+ 450, Asus VX97 Build

Posted on 2021-10-27, 22:49

Your scores seem to be on the low side, although I can only compare the 3DMark2000 one. My similar system at 450MHz gets some ~1550 points currently, give or take. Are you running the benchmark in 32-bit color? I know you have a K6-II+ - but I doubt the difference can be explained by the difference …

So, a bit faster few places with 64 vs 128 megs? But as for what I can see, there is nothing being slower with 64 megs? It looks like then, that it might be that the L3 actually only can cache the first 64 megs .. 3dmark 99 scored highest in the CPU score section with 128MB and cache turned on. …

Here's a pic I took of the ports on the back of the PC. Very easy to get the PS/2 port and USB ports working I had a pair of each that matched with the pin layout of this board in my box o stuff. I have no need for a parallel port on this machine so it was very nice to see the USB ports fit in there …

Funny, I bought the same case on ebay, probably from the same seller. XD I also paid more for the case than I probably should have, but how often are you going to find a NOS AT case? Mine is still in the box, no idea what I'm going to use it for yet. I have an ASUS TX-97 mobo laying around not …

As the VX chipset only caches 64 megabytes of RAM, you'll likely have better performance if you disable the motherboard's cache. This is a K6-2+ though so that L2 has now become L3 and the limited amount of cacheable ram is no longer an issue (or so I’ve read). I will go do some benchmarks to …

Did some more playing around with this machine today and decided to run Quake 3 for laughs. It runs the timedemo (640x480 16bit color) at a massive 9.8fps! :D Also took a screenshot with CPU-Z vintage edition of the CPU page. EDIT - I'm also looking for a decent K6-2 or 3 desktop wallpaper, if you …

That's a nice build, although IMHO K6-2+ 450 could be paired with a newer MB, as VX97 officially only supports up to 75 x 4 = 300 MHz. How did you set the multiplier jumpers (BF0, BF1) to 6? VX97_manual_p15.gif Oh k6-2 processors treat a 2x multiplier setting as 6x. It’s like how 233mmx pentiums …

I know this is probably not in any way helpful to you at the time of writing this (you mentioned you wanted to sell your board and that was in 2020). I did read the manual and your DIMM was placed in the right most slot. You could have tried to put the SDRAm into the 1st DIMM slot (which is the …
