I'm going to make 486 PCI chipsets comparison. Test will include Via Pluto, UMC8881, Ali FinAli, and Sis 85C486. I will focus on PCI performance, compatibility with various video cards, cache and memory controler speed. To make this test comprehensive I have chosen following parts to cooperate with motherboards:
CPU:
Am5x86 133MHz
Am5x86 @160MHz
Cyrix 5x86 100MHz
Video cards:
Tseng ET6000 4MB
S3 Virge DX 4MB
S3 Virge GX 4MB
Matrox Mystique 220 4MB
Ram
2*16MB 60ns EDO ram for chipsets that suppor EDO ram
2*16MB 60ns FPM ram for chipsets that do not support EDO ram
I will repeat all tests with motherboards settings set to default and also with settings tuned by me.
Any suggestions? (;
