I had a green heatsynct Cyrix DX2 in my AST I had to change a dozen jumpers to move to an AMD 5x86 overdrive Then I plopped the Cyrix into a jumperless Intel DX33 and it fired right up Never could understand the 486 generations, one system would have few jumpers and just worked, others had banks of …
Re: Motherboard Suggestions for 486 DX4 100Mhz?
Posted on 2019-07-21, 03:30
I always had good luck with Micronics motherboards, but typically I stuck with ISA or VLB version, I never had good luck with the PCI 486s but the “gateway “ pci 486 I used for a time was decent and had a rebranded micronics board inside.

Yeah TTL VRS Analog voltage needs to be accounted for Personally I would hook up the Hercules (2 bits) each to their own color channel Wire up green and red and you should get a nice amber in there. Also ram speed is probably important when overclocking, installing faster memory may help things Good …

What I find unfortunate is that AMD was dislexic on the 5x86, They needed it to stay alive but didn’t want to improve it or invest anything into clocks higher than the 5x86 150mhz because they were focused on selling more expensive k5’s that nobody wanted. They could have focused on making the 5x86 …
