Hi Everybody, K6plus.com is indeed down. We had been keeping it going for a long time with basically no activity other than spam bots and it was just it's time. Nohr put in by far the most effort over the years and it would not have stayed up as long as it did without him so special thanks to him …

In Quake 2 demo1 I’m getting 101 fps on a AOpen AX59Pro (K6-2+ 550) with 2x Voodoo 2’s in SLI / 800x600. Phil is getting only 67.7fps with the same CPU. https://www.philscomputerlab.com/uploads/3/7/2/3/37231621/phils_voodoo_2_processor_scaling_project.pdf Curious to know what the 5AX and the P5A …

What did you use to test the AX59 with? Do you have Voodoo2 with quake 2 bench results? 640x480 demo1 I get 95FPS, K6 3+ 500MHz, P5A 1.06 With a Geforce card I got 160FPS 1024x768.

[/quote] In my case, I modded more than 10 of these, and they all worked perfectly as K6-3+, except for one . So I can definitely understand Skip94 's dilemma; at this point I would also think it's strange to have an entire batch of 570ACZ CPUs that fail to run when enabling the full 256k L2 cache. …

Going from the K7-750 to the A-950, was quite substantial. Using a GeForce 2 GTS as a baseline case and everything else exactly equal. It improved 3Dmark scores about 15% on average across the board. In 2000 and 2001SE. With 1% lows and visual stuttering dramatically improved. The biggest single …

I have a few CPUs, some can do 672MHz at only 2.1V. But that is 112x6. If I run them at 120x5.5 for 660MHz they need 2.3V at minimum. This is on a socket 370/462 copper cooler, not a big one though, but good cooling sure helps! These chips do not like to go over 35-37C when overclocked. The CPUs …

That is awesome! I am looking to compare my results. AMD K6-3+ and a single Voodoo2 I get 2226 in 3DMARK2000. And that is running at only 93MHz! It responds well to overclocking but my card does not like it 🙁 With your testing was Voodoo2 3.5 the best driver?

Thanks myne. I'll dig into this probably over weekend. However my card might be defective. VidMem stress test CE 1.21 is showing errors regardless of FSB speed The idea with the Turbo PLL is to cut the lines on your board that you want to run at another speed. You need to built a separate PLL board …

Just have to add my experience here. If you want a fast SS7 then a completely overkill cooler is a must. Those low profile copper coolers do not cut it. K6+ CPUs like to be cool when overclocked. Even not overclocked with a small cooler they get unstable. A small copper cooler does not even work …
