Soooo, basically I want to build myself a 486 with the AMD 5x86 133Mhz.
The thing is, I haven't done any hardware related stuff lately and I'm really rusty 😊
So I checked th99 for jumper settings for how to jumper a couple boards for the 5x86.
Problem is, th99 doesn't mention the AMD 5x86 jumper settings even though I suspect 2 of the boards will actually support said CPU.
The 3 boards I'm trying to find the correct jumper settings for, are the ASUS PVI-486SP3, the Chaintech 486SPM and the Abit PV4T.
I also have one completed system build around the Acer AP43 and a DX4-100 (because I didn't know the correct jumper for the 5x86 -_- ) but for some reason the mouse didn't work last time I tried the rig and I never really looked into that lil problem.
My idea was this:To jumper for the Intel DX4 (WB if mentioned separately) and then jumper the multi to 2x instead of 3x (which the 5x86 should interpret as 4x), but I just can't figure out which jumper is for the CPU multiplier.
My guess is that installing a 5x86 (the AMD one) with the board jumpered to receive an Intel DX4, the 5x86 will run at 100Mhz instead of 133?
And obviously I will want to have it run @ 133Mhz. Wether it runs with WT or WB isn't as important to me, even though I know WT will degrade performance for a little bit.
In short: Does anyone actually know how to put the jumpers for the above mentioned boards for the AMD 5x86?
Because I just can't figure it out 😢
