If I disable "SDRAM Speculative Read" in bios, I can boot Tillamook on my 430TX-based board: ASUS TX97-XE (TM tech cache chips). If I not disable this, the board will freezes before drives detection. I wanted to compare the cache performance of this board to the cache performance of PC Chips board. …

So with the Riva128, you get a 2% performance increase with the P266MMX when enabling L2 cache. What do you get with the P233MMX? We need to know the Quake result for the P233 when L2 is disabled. If it is the same 2%, then I suspect your Tillamook works fine with L2 cache and that the L2 cache …

It was noted that the Quake score was the same with and without L2 cache when using the P266MMX. Is the score the same with and without cache when using the P233MMX? Note that those benchmarks has maden on Voodoo1 which card is really "CPU independent" and this caused lot similar results. I have …

Hmm.. Either your system's L2 cache is too slow, or the RAM is too fast to show much improvement. If you run the system with a P233MMX with and without L2 cache enabled, do you get the same percent of performance improvement with the P233 (L2 on vs. L2 off) as you do with the P266 (L2 on vs. L2 off …

What is the Quake score with and without L2 enabled? If the results are about the same, perhaps the L2 cache isn't being used properly. Do you have the Speedsys graph with L2 enabled? Both with or without L2 gives 27.0 FPS (40.3 sometimes 40.4 seconds), nothing difference. In the earlier test, the …

I have found my Diamond Viper V330 PCI too. The bios on the PC Phip M537-DMA33 board is already modbinned and set to the fastest config. I will put my latest async board (that has Intel FX chipset) to this test also. Now I working on this board. Later I will made some speedsys graph capture too.

Hello Gona,can you benchmark the bigass demo ?Also i looked at your speedsys mem benchmarks and i saw about 128mb per sec for l2 and 94mb per sec for the sdram.I am now playing with award edit software to give lower values cas and mem parameters down to 1 so as to overclock a little the mem access …

I have seen similar results with a piece of junk PC Chips M918 motherboard. If I slow everything down, I see a cache step in Speedsys, however if I run it at full speed, the cache does nothing. Other motherboards of the same chipset do not exhibit this problem, so I believe there is a cache …

Why not use the latest reference driver?May 1999 - Latest Reference driver ​Voodoo Graphics Driver kit Version: 3.01.00 Sometimes built in drivers are faster. I will test both of them.

Hello there,i have 256mb ram,though only 64 is cached and a voodoo1 with permedia 2. I would suggest the glquake benchmark demo.I have seen reports that the l2 cache does not influence the speed in these systems.Only glquake will give us some numbers.Shall we try 3,5 x 66 on both pentium mmx and …

This is 4x 66MHz (SysId not detect FSB on my system, this maybe because the Powerleap adaptor). Good idea, but a game benchmarking we need to use similar videocard or 3D accelerator and same type/speed and size memory (like 512MB PC133 7.5ns SDRAM). If you have Voodoo1 card (that mach for these …

Sorry to reply to such an old thread but I thought it better than cluttering the forum with yet another one... can CGL be used (or patched to be used) on Verite based non-Creative cards? And if so, could it then be further patched to use V2x00 cards as well, in the same fashion that V2DOSFIX can do …
