Hi, recently I found a motherboard as mentioned in the topic, I powered it up, and to my surprise, the performance is very low (Pentium 166MHz P54C 2.5x66 + 2x256KB SRAM cache + 32MB(2x16) 50ns EDO), despite having very low timings for RAM (Read - 2, Write - 1) and cache (0/0/0 read/write/tag hit) in BIOS. Additionally, L2 is set to WB, TAG to 7+1, and Page mode is on. Analyzing SPEEDSYS, I conclude that the issue lies with memory write performance. Here are the results:
L2 Read/Write/Move: 87/35/57 [MB/s]
RAM: 62/32/25 [MB/s]
CPU: 124pts
VGA : 35MB/s
PCPlayer (640x480) - 7.4fps
Quake (320x240) - 29fps
Does anyone have experience with this kind of hardware? The write performance is worse than on a 486... Any suggestions? maybe some mobo modifications?
