Apparently I was naive thinking that my ADZ is the one :). I also tried at 4V to no avail. That ADZ thing seems to be a common misunderstanding anyway. I have an ADW that runs fine at 160 MHz and doesn't get hot. Then I have an ADZ which doesn't even POST at 160 MHz. The ADZ (later produced as BGC …

The K5 was a beast, it might even be faster than the K6 clock for clock, but it's a hot chip so it never reached the speeds of the fastest K6s. The major issue was that it was released too late. If it had been one or two years earlier, it could have become a very successful chip.

Still a rumor at this point, although it would make sense given how hot and expensive to produce the card is.

As a gaming card it still makes no sense at £599. Even with a few at £560 on deals, it's far too much for a top tier GPU that isn't even at the top. As an industry card it's obviously awesome for the money. Vega56 should still be the best gaming GPU deal in the UK at the moment, but not sure how …

Instead of a 5x86 at 200, if you want to get your fast 486 dose, you can always try a Cyrix MediaGX Actually IDT Winchip should be much better option to get that "486" feel on practically any Socket 5/7 motherboard.

superior memory Just install FPM with horrible timings =P Anyway, Winchip runs DOS games pretty much like extremely overclocked 486.

I'm not so sure about that. The Socket 5/7 motherboard has such superior memory and IO performance that it won't feel like a 486. lol Try it in an Opti Viper board then :D I did it and in some tests even a POD in a decent PCI 486 board was faster clock for clock then a standard Pentium in the …

A POD @ 100MHz with a 1Mb of cache is a great performer in Socket 3 boards. The large cache makes up for the lack of memory bandwidth and poor fast page mode latencies. Sure it won't beat a 5x86 @ 200MHz especially running 3x66, but chances of getting a POD to 100MHz are way better than a 5x86 even …

When I was picking an audio player for inclusion within Dosbox Distro I settled on MPXPlay. My main testing criteria was mp3 compatibility tho.

In my opinion you can set the K6-2 450 as the K6-III 450, the only difference is the VCore which must be set to 2.2V, while the K6-III goes to 2.4V. In the last pages of the manual you will find how to set up the VCore, you can even go down to 1.8V, if you find a K6 + you can easily set it.

Hello everybody. I have those 2 cpu, I was wondering what is the difference between the first and the second. The ADZ has manufacturing date 962xxx (can't read because it's scratched) while the W16BGC has manufacturing date 9811GPB. Another difference is that on the first one it mentions 3.45volt …
