Re: Overclocking DX4 100MHZ to 120?

AMD 5x86 133mhz has only two multipliers: 3x or 4x.

So this is not RAMDAC limitation but pure software limitation. It can't display 32-bit modes.
Re: Performance of 486 with internal cache off, external on is like?

486 was designed to rely on L1 cache, so performance penalty for disabling it is steep.

First Radeon did not support asynchronous clocks, AFAIK this holds true for RV100 as well. Not "officially". I think it was more of a driver issue, which was fixed with Catalyst drivers after Radeon 7500/8500 release.

However the Doom score is too low. Doom needs overclocked PCI bus to achieve better scores.

Will last 10+ more years, since there's no voltage increase.

Is GF FX 5700 have 2x64 or 4x32 bit memory configuration? 4x32. For GF 6600 is know that is 2x64 Unlikely. I read CineFX 1.0 in GF 5800, 5600 and 5200 series still has discrete hardware TCL (T&L) Would be pointless waste of transistor budget. Vertex Shader unit is already a programmable T&L engine …

Except that it can barely compete with stock 2600K even after overclocking and struggle vs 2500K in older games. 2600K at 4500 Mhz is simply untouchable by any FX CPU. So current ludicrous prices are not justified by performance.

16x PCI-e but they require PCI-e 3.0 or 4.0 and a UEFI BIOS.. So basically it's useless.

You can use that to adapt to a sata nvme It's SATA or NVME. Not both. SATA M.2 can be easily fitted into 2.5 inch adapter.

Whatever higher binned you can find within your budget. It's not something you can buy in bulk to find the perfect sample, like AMD 5x86.

What you call bottom feeding was the only way amd could get by back then, they absolutely had to sell their cpu's at a lower price in order to compete with intel. No, AMD had some presence in OEM (multiple examples above), which is sustainable business model. But as I've already mentioned, they had …

Virtually any card with a physical VGA port is going to be reasonable at DOS games. Rendition Verite owners would strongly disagree.

if anything, legacy phone security should be -more- robust than it's PC counterpart You can't hack Nokia 3310, even if you really want it. Or any pre-android devices really, they are so old that nobody cares about them in terms of exploits.
