I've been testing this new Cyrix 5x86-120GP CPU that I obtained recently. I decided to put it into AB-PB4 rev 1.3 together with some EDO RAM and PCI VGA. However the performance is worse than I could expect.
Specs:
- Abit AB-PB4, 256k cache
- ARK2000PV PCI VGA
- Voodoo 2 PCI accelerator
- 32MB EDO RAM (1 stick, also tested 1+1 so 64MB)
Already tried to fine tune the BIOS settings, DRAM/SRAM is set to fastest, all PCI buffers etc. are enabled.
BIOS is not the latest F2 but a bit older one, seeing the release notes I doubt that would be of any help.
In Quake timedemo I get only 12.7 FPS, Speedsys score is 54.54.
I mean I got a lot higher scores on an older motherboard with less FPM RAM, without any BIOS tuning and PODPR83 CPU.
Is the PODPR83 CPU so much better than Cx5x86-120? I doubt it.
Do you have any ideas? Thanks!
