Hi Feipoa, Looks like this is another way to identify BATMAN vs BATMAN's REVENGE motherboards - based on AMIBIOS identity codes 1.00.xx.AF1: Premiere/PCI Expandable Desktop (Batman) 1.00.xx.AF2: Premiere/PCI ED (Batman's Revenge) Source: http://www.elhvb.com/mboards/intel/index.html

Have not tried Q87 or any FPU emulator on my VLB system - but willing to give it a try and post here. P90 is my default CPU - small heatspreader. Have a P100 big heatspreader that also works nicely on the VLB board, but my P110 big heatspreader doesn't - think is not supported. Any suggestions for …

LOL,that temptation is probably how that Chinese seller earns his rent! It is a shame they are so fragile though, it's not like they are common either, must be the rarest of the non prototype socket 7 CPU's. Hi, does it happen to have any spare of the non-working MP6 CPU? Plan to test a few things …

I realised that last time I run Quake2 before ading IDT WinChip 2B CPU, I used Voodoo 5 card with 3dfx GL settings. So attemting to use the Radeon 7000 PCI card lead to Quake2 crashing. My bad 😀 Problem solved and WinChip 2B working, will add some results later.

Well, while the Voodoo 5 does not have a DX7 compatible T&L engine it can simulate T&L using geometry assist and produce faster results than standard FPU calculations in some cases. You need at least Pentium 3 for that. I saw a few of your older posts, any experience with IDT Winchip? Wondering if …

One other thing: Winchip 2B have Vcore stated for 2.8V (some specs say 2.7-2.9), and so I did set it up - and it works as described above. I know all other IDT CPUs are 3V and higher.

Thanks for all feedback, for now decided to park the MP6 one, and start a new challenge. Some would say IDT WinChip2 was one of the worst - so I want to put it to the test. :evil: Same setup as above, but with IDT WinChip2 W2B-3DFK200BTA 200Mhz (66x3). NOTE: I had to straighten a few pins first... …

Did a bit more testing with MP6 Lynx CPU - more of the same results. Overclocked to 250 (100FSBx2.5) - with Radeon 7000 64Mb PCI 800x600 17.5FPS in demo1 in Quake2 - with Voodoo 5 5500 AGP using default OpenGL 800x600 demo1 25 FPS 1024X760 demo1 23.5 FPS 1280x960 demo1 23.6 FPS 1600x1200 demo1 9.5 …

I used the latest driver released for Radeon 7000 PCI card - will check for older versions and test later in the week. Will also test with Voodoo 5 5500 AGP for fun.

I assume the K6-2/3 CPU’s weren’t running Quake2 patched with 3Dnow? I have no experience with Rise MP6, when I looked at the specs the L1 cache seems small compared with its competitors cpus (Cyrix 6x86 has 16kb too, but that’s not saying much). I wonder if Quake2 is a specific usage were small L1 …

Thanks thehinac, I don't have a PF CPU to test, but the VLB motherboard works nicely with P90 I got. Looking forward to a positive answer.

Any chance that PF versions of Nx586 are running with the VLB motherboard? thehinac - did you re-run any of your earlier tests on different VLB moherboard, or using a different PF version of the processor?
