Re: SetMul - Multiplier control for VIA C3 and AMD K6 Mobile

Posted on 2015-08-21, 23:21

This is basically it for the Nehemiah slowdown options. I tried everything, including ICD toggle: Just checked the VIA C3 Nehemiah with the SetMul options for Cache and such, and setting FSB speeds from 50 to 133MHz. Lowest SpeedSys score I could get is 3,77 points (~386SX-20), this could be ramped …

Are you are running the system with 512K single-banked (4 chips) or 512K double-banked (8 chips)? 512K double-banked is more tolerant of faster cache timings compared to single-banked 512K when your FSB is 40 MHz or higher. There were two types of errors I noticed with the SRAM. My SRAM tester …

Makes me wonder - do the multiplier settings that works for the Cyrix 5x86 CPU work also for the Cyrix 6x86 CPU? These PR-166 CPU's aren't bad, but I would love to see them run with x1 multiplier. Anyone can try this...?

I just naively and blindly hoped, that the 6x86 could happen to be compatible with previous 5x86... So someone tried that already and it did not worked? And there is no good sources for Cyrix advanced docs? I mean... it is interesting, that for 5x86 they are, but not for 6x86... Sadly my board …

^^ It was discussed in this thread: Re: Which Socket 3 CPUs can you downclock using 1x multiplier? Nothing found to suggest Multi can be changed via register settings - only jumper signals.

Just remembered 3D-Analyze has a force 24bit z-buffer and a force 16bit z-buffer option have you tried it ?

It's more about imagination, but, what socket/slot would you want they to release a special version and the dream specifications :D Mine would be: a Super Socket 7 processor, 1GHz clock processor that could downclock without any problem to 66MHz, and also some virtual downclock that could reach 4MHz …

Easy, some overblown 486... Perhaps, a Pentium OverDrive with a silly multiplier. Imagine 333MHz on that platform, it would be completely pointless! Probably be better if it sat on a little daughterboard, much like those interposers for lower voltage CPUs, which allowed you to fiddle with the …

I'd prefer if they did some new motherboards + CPU limited edition bundles 😀 386DX for sure, 486DX2 or DX4 would also be cool.

Imagine an 8088/8086 with a giant clock muliplier. Pointless, but cool.

Certainly a 386DX4 something like 120Mhz with a modern building size. 😁 Or why not a super K63+ 1Ghz with some 1MB of L2 cache.

Not yet 'oldschool' but I would like Intel to build a working Pentium 4 'Tejas' sample 😉. Older clock-doubled/tripled CPU's would have my interest too: 8088SX/2, 286SX/2 or 386DX/4. (486DX/6 200MHz, anyone? 😀)
