Tests continued:
5) Superscape 3DBench VGA benchmark v1.0. Inside Windows 98, I selected Start -> Restart in MS-DOS mode.
66.6 Frames Per Second
6) Superscape 3DBench2 VGA benchmark v1.0c. Again, inside Windows 98, I selected Start -> Restart in MS-DOS mode.
62.5 Frames Per Second
7) Cache check version 7 (11/23/98, Ray Van Tassle). I run cachechk at the DOS 6.2 C: prompt, and the results are -
L1 cache is 16KB -- 103.6 MB/s 10.1 ns/byte (266%) (185%) 3.9 clks
L2 cache is 256KB -- 55.9 MB/s 18.8 ns/byte (143%) (100%) 7.2 clks
Main memory speed -- 38.9 MB/s 27.0 ns/byte (100%) [reading] 10.3 clks
effective RAM access time (read) is 108ns
Effective RAM access time (write) is 61ns
8 ) CTCM (another cache check program). I run ctcm.exe at the DOS 6.2 C: prompt, and the results are -
Best Time for 16K MOVSD (Cache /Page Hits) : 126 mcs - 129.6 MByte/s
average t. for 16K MOVSD (Miss + Hit) : 461 mcs - 35.5 MByte/s
average t. for 16K MOVSD (if clean) : 648 mcs - 25.3 MByte/s
average t. for 16K MOVSD (if dirty) : 1108 mcs - 14.8 MByte/s
Main Memory 16K MOVSD (Cache misses) : 1312 mcs - 12.5 MByte/s
average with 256 KB L2-Cache /DOS (640K) : 542 mcs - 30.2 MByte/s
average with 256 KB L2-Cache /WIN (4M) : 700 mcs - 23.4 MByte/s
And some more tests, this time Doom and also seeing if windows 98 boots up OK with this mobo:
9) Doom -timedemo demo3. This is using Doom 1 shareware version 1.9. I left the size of the screen at the default setting.
2134 gametics in 1778 realtics = 42 frames per second.
10) Doom -timedemo demo3. Again, this is the same version of Doom as above. Edit: Sorry, forgot to say that this test was Doom in full screen mode. End Edit.
2134 gametics in 2151 realtics = 34.72 frames per second.
11) Boot up with a Windows 98 HDD. OK, no problems.
More tests to follow...Please note that I'm breaking these tests up a bit, because if I lump them all together in to one large edited post, then it'll look almost unreadable.
