So also AOpen AX6BC shouldn't have any problems? That's great 😁

Where did I ask for anything other than opinion about this subject? 😀 I will do this with or without support, I haven't asked for anything yet. I just wanted to know what to expect cause it is taking a lot of time.

A "labor of love" does not need donations. Sure, but you have to eat if you want to be able to work ;) I'm more of a "science guy" than "entertaining guy" so youtube videos about CPUs or GPUs, aren't really my thing. I simply can't understand why people want to spend fifteen minutes watching video …

I was able to get VIA Nano 1Ghz (one core version) so there will be update to this article - C3 vs C7 vs Nano @1Ghz. Is this interesting for you? I hope so 😁

I wouldn't count on it. In general people in this hobby are frugal. only a tiny percentage of us will ever donate. Well, I think I will try anyway, maybe ads will provide some funding :neutral: 3DMARK 2001SE definitely works on the pentium pro,you must have an incompatible video card or some other …

Just remember to do at least three runs of every benchmark on every card and present the average value.

At some point yes, I will. BTW how do you think - when my site is done (meaning - nice looking, translated to english) and updated once in a week with article like this above, will there be people willing to donate via paypal or patreon few bucks to support it? To do it fast and professionally I …

Absolutely lovely PC. Don't mess with it and just build separate 486 machine.

Re: 3x Athlon AM2 - IPC comparison
Posted on 2017-10-22, 14:43
Very interesting! The newer chips were certainly an improvement, but the 5200+ does pretty decently for being basically the same core as the original Athlon 64. Indeed, Athlon 64 was revolutionary and was aging pretty well. I wasn't expecting the 7750BE to be so energy inefficient compared to the …

Exactly the same platform, different CPU Cores - Windsor vs Kuma vs Regor @2600Mhz. Pretty interesting results (no, Athlon II isn't always the best, and Athlon X2 5200+ isn't always the worst ;) ) Athlon X2 5200+ vs Athlon 7750BE vs Athlon II Text still in polish (probably next article will be in …

What games should I use to compare this CPUs? GPU will be GT 8500 PCI (Sparkle) so not very powerful but usable.
Re: AMD Phenom II X4 955 / Gigabyte Mobo BIOS Problem?
Posted on 2017-10-17, 11:49
Stuff like that is why Gigabyte is often a pain in the ass. Make sure you download the right bios for the right revision. Revisions can often vary wildly in CPU and bios support. For example, I have a 880GA-UD3P Rev. 2.0, that has normal bios and no support for FX cpus. but later revisions have …

Pentium Pros are hard to bench... Lack of MMX is painful, even 3DMark 2001 doesn't work 😒 I couldn't fine "falcon 4" except for the version which requires 1,5Ghz CPU, I'm pretty sure it is not the one you have in mind 😜
