Looks like your CPU is running at 66mhz. Put in a 486dx2-66 and compare benchmarks.

A 486dx4-100 should score about 200 in topbench. Looks like you CPU is either running at 25mhz bus speed or set up 33mhz bus for a 486dx2-66 CPU. See my photos for reference.

On a Windows-10 computer download and extract this zip file. https://www.philscomputerlab.com/dos-benchmark-pack.html Burn contents to a CD-R DIsk. Put in your 486 and and run these benchmarks. Speedsys CheckCPU TopBench Report what they read ?

I picked up this HP B-132 back around 2005 from eBay. It had a 1gb disk I upgraded with an HP Seagate Barracuda 2GB Ultra Wide SCSI Hard Drive ST32171WD and about 256mb ram. These use to be are main workstations at work. This computer pulls out of the case like a sleeve.

I was able to get some K63+ 450 CPUs about two years ago for about $30 each. But they are hard to find today for a good price. Your best bet is to get some K6-2 which you can still find.

Which Motherboard would you choose out of these ? I am building a Win95 computer. I don't know if AGP is supported in Win95 ? I think I want to use a motherboard that does not require additional drivers NOT included in Win95 install CD. But NOT sure of Pros vs. Cons ?

Currently I am testing out my 7.2 home theater speaker system with Classical Music in 7 channel stereo. I am listening to Hans Zimmer, Vivaldi, Pure Moods Albums , and Relaxing Opera. This really help fine tune your speaker setup and find weaknesses. https://youtu.be/xd891GuKvgo
