Very nice indeed. Equivalent to an above-average Pentium 100.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

I decommissioned the Am5x86 CPU @ 160 MHz in the UM8810P-AIO board because it lumbered to do any kind of multitasking while playing an mp3 in Windows 95C. I didn't like how it struggled to drag an open window around the desktop with an mp3 playing in the background while the Cyrix 5x86 133 and 83MHz POD could do it effortlessly.

Big thanks to feipoa for diode modding my 83MHz POD and apologies for taking so long to test it:)
