Most likely unstable at this speed, at least for games. Dropped it back to 4017mhz afterwards

A bit slower than QX9770 @ 4,5GHz from before... however, it's with higher FSB and not deadly Vcore (stable for high load 3D benching as well).

i got another board with umc82c491 chipset, and with 128kb cache installed.
time: 5h 43m 44s
so its only about 3.6% faster, and i guess its because the 387 is so slow that it takes up most of the time, making cache/ram performance unimportant for this benchmark.

for some reason I can't get the FSB 124 jumper setting to work with this CPU atm, it always worked fine with the PII (hmmm maybe I was running an older bios), with the p3 it detects it as 133, and that's too high for 1.65v and windows is unstable, so 112 it is for now, still kind of nice, compared to:

Celeron northwood + slow motherboard, not worthy of 2.8GHz performance, but hey at least is better than stock, that jumper setting to 133 decreases the time by 56s!
I remember when I bought this motherboard a long while back and it felt horribly slow even when it was fairly new, but the jumper OC to 2.8 made a nice difference, even for basic use, kind of the saving aspect of this combo.
disabling the IGP has potential to improve it even more, maybe another time

Not bad at first glance, but my C2D E8600 (3.33GHz) is almost twice as fast at 14.106s. That chip has the full 6MB of L2, FSB1333 + DDR3-1333, and SSE4.1.

I've been running SuperPi on, like, everything, but especially a bunch of thin clients & USFF PCs, so may as well contribute them to this thread.

I believe this is the first VIA Eden result here? I couldn't find any others.

VIA PLE133 chipset
256MB PC133
Windows 98SE

SuperPi 1M: 1439.929 s (23:59.929)

Full disclosure: I had an unbelievable amount of trouble with this thing. I managed to get Windows just barely installed enough to do a couple benchmarks, but it was completely unstable. I got SuperPi to run once and never again, so this 1M result is all you get. Not sure how representative it is of the optimal performance of this CPU. Even running CPU-Z would bring the whole thing down so I was never able to see the memory timings or detailed system info.

For comparison, this machine got 211 MIPS in 7zip, compared to 359 for my K6-2/500 and 499 for the 1GHz VIA Eden above.

Eventually the whole thing just stopped being able to boot after I tried to install the same old USB supplement I've used on every Win98 machine I've ever built. I ended up completely ripping out the jury-rigged HDD I was using, put JoJo's PC-DOS Mini image on a bootable USB stick, and that was the end of it. So apologies for no screenshots & no more benchmarks from this machine.

I have a question about Multicore SuperPi. I ran it on a P4 Northwood 3.06 Ghz cpu and set it to 32 with two threads for the hyperthreading . It finished at 72 seconds. Then ran it with one thread and got 111 seconds. This seems normal to me., but then I wanted to compare my P4 Prescot 3.2 Ghz. with hyperthreading and got the same as the Northwoods time of 72 seconds with 2 threads. What confuses me is I did it again with one thread and it was finished at 52 seconds? Why would it be faster with one thread? I thought the HT would boost it a bit like it did with the Northwood CPU.

The Prescott system is the newer model with 2 gigs cache, and it currently is running with one RAM stick of 1 gig, and the Northwood had 2 sticks of 512 megs each being dual channel. May be the longer pipeline of the Prescott is not liking the single channel RAM when using 2 threads?

Hope I wrote this clear enough to make sense, I worked all night and I smoked a fatty. Hope someone can shead some light on the subject, thanks in advance.
