gerwin, would you be willing to add the Ti 486SXL2-50 and Cyrix DRx2 to Setmul?

I am not unwilling to look into it. Do these processors support software multiplier switching? Could you provide me the datasheets (and the page number) describing the CPU registers that are concerned? 320.64MHz AXP-M: http://valid.x86.fr/8cqmjb 215.47MHz Duron: http://valid.x86.fr/kfqjxs Thanks for …

Gerwin, https://archive.org/details/bitsavers_tiTI486 … eGuide_19799789 The chip also has software enable/disable for the L1 cache. Attached below is an excerpt from the SXL reference guide on the code required to enable clock doubling for the SXL.

Had a bit of a disaster, pulled the K5 to test a couple of IBM 6x86 CPU's i got the other day and 2 pins fell off the K5 as i lifted it out of the socket :( both pins of course disapeared into the deep pile carpet, shame, a sad end to a great CPU, kinda parallels history though I guess, a CPU dead …

I have a K5 system clocked 1.5x75 MHz on a i430TX board and it runs very well for it's clock.

You don't think the fact that no other K5 chips can run reliably at 133 MHz adds value to the K5-PR200? If the PR166 ran reliably at 133 MHz, I would have had little desire to obtain the PR200, unless it was sufficiently cheap. Since no other K5 chip could run at 133 MHz, I was willing to pay more …

Does anyone know if the 5k86 really is faster/more efficient than the SSA/5 stepping? Since the later 5k86 uses a higher PR rating than it's clockspeed, while the earlier one has a PR rating exactly at it's clockspeed.

Heh well I'll be damned...This DEC just keeps surprising me with its upgradability especially for an OEM system. So I guess my next question is are there any advantages to upgrading to that particular cpu? I've noticed it is rather pricey on ebay....

Basically if it runs in write through mode, and/or if the L2 cache on your motherboard doesn't work with the chip it's not worth the trouble. Go with the am5x86-133 and overclock to 160. It's the fastest chip on the list you can realistically get your hands on (unless for some reason you need a real …

a good system would be a socket A board with an Athlon 1000 , should be more than enough (depends on the graphics card of course) for games even in 2001. you could get something faster like an Athlon 1400 , but you need some very good cooling for that one (very fast though)

For Socket A, Palomino or Thoroughbred are period correct as well and much less of a room heater than the old T-Bird cpus.
