Here is the benchmark score comparison.
AMD K6-100 running at 75mhz.
Disabling the caches dropped it down to a 386 at least.
What is a score of 7 in speedsys ?
What is a score of 56 in Topbench ?
I know that a 286@20mhz will score a 50 in topbench.
Some posted that a 386dx@40 scores a 9.2 in Speedsys test.
Intel Pentium-s 75
Speedsys score = 9.1
Topbench score = 61
So the AMD can actually run slower.
Maybe the AMD can run at high 286 speeds ?
Sorry to say, but you are turning round in circles.
You started with 486 DX4/100, but then you concluded it is too slow.
Now you do something with an AMD K5 @ 75MHz and worry about how it could be slowed down.
Do you think the K5 75MHz is so much faster than a DX4 100MHz?
No, I am just trying to find the right hardware combination.
( CPU, Cache, RAM, Sound card, Video card ).
That will perform good at speeds of a 286/386/486 and Pentium CPU.
It’s like a car. I want as much “torque” as possible. I really don’t need acceleration ( speed ).
I just need the CPU processing power of the Pentium.
As for the sound card. I need it to play good music and midi files at slow speeds too so a Sound Blaster 16 with Yamaha OPL3 is going to be the way to go.
Maybe an AdLib 8 bit card too.
For video it will probably be the S3 trio64
I am only going to run DOS 6.22 and Win3x so 16-32mb of ram will be enough.
