Hi.
I'm thinking about changing CPU from Athlon XP 2400+ (TB, 266, 256 KB L2) to XP 2500+ (Barton, 333, 512 KB L2) and I'm wondering if it would speedup DOSBox at all? (CPU clock would be around 100 MHz lower) Anyone have any experience with that?

Should make some difference, the bus speed is 333Mhz against 266. Make sure that your RAM is DDR333 or higher though! The better the quality of memory, the faster the memory timings you can use 😁
The L2 cache size would be doubled, so it should make a difference! 😉
