I finally got my Shuttle HOT-433 motherboard up and running! I'm really excited. I forgot how slow these old Socket 3 Systems are. 🙄 Anyways enough gushing; to my question; this mother board has settings for 40 Mhz and 50 Mhz bus speed. The processor I am running is an AMD 5x86. If I set the motherboard at 40 Mhz with a multiplier of 4 I get 160 Mhz. If I set the board at 50 Mhz bus with a multiplier of 3 I get 150 Mhz.
Which setting would have the best performance? The higher clock speed or the higher bus setting? Both settings are stable. The bios lets me manually set the pci and isa bus dividers so the bus speed is not a problem for the pci and isa cards.
