With VLB graphics, you got DLC-40 = 12.85 fps, or DRx2 = 16.4 fps. Why is the performance increase for the DRx2, when using VLB, much greater than when the DLC uses the VLB graphics?
The higher the CPU, the more severe the performance bottleneck due to the ISA graphics card bottleneck.

Score on nortion Sysinfo is 93.1. but this is incorrect.

If use FSB 25/33 DX2/DX4/5x86 CPU on OPTI 495SX/SLC Chipset Motherboard. Norton sysinfo 6.0 or highter version outputs a different value than the actual one.
if use DX(25,33) or FSB 40 CPU(486DX2-80,486DX4-120 and etc). output correct value.
The solution is to use version 4.5 of Norton Sysinfo.

486DRx2-66's CPU Score is 127.0

Maybe caused OPTI 495SX/SLC Chipset's poor memory performance.

The worst speed I've seen was around 14 MB/s. Could you report the cachechk RAM write results? e.g. cachechk -w -d -t4
my cachechk is can't run with option -d.
i ran cachechk -w -t4 , and cachechk -t4

The best memory read times tend to come from SiS Rabbit-based boards, at 23.6 MB/s.
My Motherboard's Memory performance is so poor..

Did you try your DRx2 at 2x40 MHz?
Appear POST Screen. and Freeze during boot.

Based on your results, it seems like the DRx2 might be worth it if your board has VLB. In my mind, though, if a board has a 486 CPU socket, then using one of these PGA-132 CPU upgrades looses some of its prestige. Does your board have a 486 and 386 CPU socket, or just a 386 CPU socket?
I also have a DRx2-66 and would some day like to compare it against the 486SXL-40 on my Mark V Baby Screamer. I would also like to attempt 486SXL2-66 operation with lots of cooling. An SXL2 at 2x25 MHz just isn't that exciting for me.
have both socket.
