Btw, I believe the way it’s wired it has four banks. So using the closer slots won’t have wires hanging out..? As the top slots are on their own banks Oh, I hadn't thought of that it was banks, that needed to be filled all together separately. In that case, it doesn't matter with regards to …

Do you see any problem with me configuring 512 as 128 x 4 or will I have to do 64 x 8 If 128 x 4 works which slots should I use? Lowest 4? Or right or left or top four? I’m going thinking bottom four right? Cause closest to chipset I don't know the details of whether or not you'll be able to use …

The problem would not be getting the PCB manufactured. A lot of companies offer this service at pretty decent prices. Problem is probably interfacing the ISA bus to USB ..

Is there real no chance to get a multi of 4,5x to reach 300 MHz at 66 FSB?? I have an AIR 54TDP here with HX-chipset (Dual-Socket-7; https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/A/ADVANCED-INTEGRATION-RESEARCH-INC-Pentium-54TDP.html) - it boots fine with L2 enabled and one or two (YEAHHH) Tillamook(s) …

I also expect it to be the winner but I'm not so sure it's going to be as far off as you think. the pentium mmx was a very good cpu that many programs were coded for okay, here is another thought experiment for you. dual p1 233mmx vs k63+ at 450 (on windows xp) Won't bet anything on that, that is …

I actually tried this with a Celeron-1400 back in the day. Had it running at 1866/133, and at that speed it could match the stock-clocked PIII-S 1400 in some benchmarks. In others, the PIII was ahead. The Celeron also required some enormous voltage to get to 1866, and actually quit working after a …

Another thing I'm trying to set up, is the Core2 architecture. I'm trying to get hold of one of each Core2 based CPU at 2.66 GHz (that's the most common denominator) or some that can be clocked to just that. The great plan is to benchmark the sh*t out of them to find out, what advantages e.g. more …
