Re: AMD 486 DX4-90?

Posted on 2011-11-18, 13:03

I wonder if you can do 60 x 1.5 with it. The CPU only has two multiplier settings, x2 and x3. I thought 486 multipliers were set by jumpers on the motherboard? The instruction for multiplication (to the CPU) is made by the motherboard, but not the multiplication itself. Unfortunately, the native …

Funny that 11.10 and 11.11 were released so close together. I guess they got really far behind and decided to make up for it, especially with the release of Skyrim and such.

Nice XP/ 7 build. Should be plenty fast and with that ram you'll be able to o'c any chip to it's limits.

Has anyone tried a Nehemiah in a dual socket 370 yet? What was the result?

Well, it looks like my Soyo motherboard's BIOS is full of s***, as SpeedSys reports the CPU running at 667MHz. With cache, SpeedSys ranks the C3 in my computer as equivalent to a 300MHz Pentium II. Without internal cache, SpeedSys ranks the C3 a little lower than a 50MHz 486DX2. By the way, does …

By the way, if anyone is interested in buying 3x1GB ECC Registred SDRAM DIMM memories (IBM certified), then i have those, and i dont need them, because I dont have any motherboards that support that kind of a desity.

I grabbed this line from the spec sheet, The VIA C3 Nehemiah processor currently does not support multiple processors; however future versions may implement dual processors support. My guess is that they never implemented SMP because they didn't renew their socket 370 lincense with Intel. Even for …

Wait. They're BGA? How can they be BGA and compatible with Socket 7 motherboards? Compatible with Socket 7 implies that they actually fit in the socket so how can they fit in the socket if they don't have pins?

I read they were a derivative of the MediaGX. The MediaGX was a Cyrix chip, incompatable with the Socket 7 pinout.

I read they were a derivative of the MediaGX. The MediaGX was a Cyrix chip, incompatable with the Socket 7 pinout. In the description for the GX and LX it says socket 7 compatible. Strange... It also mentions support for DDR-400 though I had a quick look at both Socket 7 pinout and the Geode pinout …
