Been benchmarking some old rigs (my 386 and 486, plus my new dual Pentium 233MMX box) and would like to post up some speedsys results for your enjoyment, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Any suggestions?

Have you put the speedsys software and the PC and it's working?
If it's so when you've done doing a benchmark you get the option to save it as TXT and PCX file...the PCX file is a screenshot 😀

OK, have revised the title of this thread, and will be adding to it as time permits. Hope you all enjoy! 😁

Next system is a copy of one like it I had back when running a K6-2+ on a regular socket 7 board was a budget way to upgrade....of course the new system has left out the crappy dial up modem! 😁 It is running Win98 SE that has been stripped of some features using 98lite. Using the Opera 10 browser, web surfing is mostly OK, and a tweaked Quake 3 Arena will run 'demo four' at 40FPS. Using the CTU program to enable some K6-2 features helped quite a bit!

Next system is based off an old Tyan duallie board that a friend was going to throw in the trash! Since I could never afford anything like this back when it was new, I figured it would be fun to explore it's capabilities. I'm running XP SP3 on this system, and it is actually usable for web surfing and old games like Quake II! I'm wondering how much EDO memory would help over the FPM memory I'm currently using? This particular FPM memory is kinda crappy and I am unable to run it faster then the boards auto 60ns timings without memtest86+ errors.

Another duallie system, though this one is much more usable even for modern day tasks. Finding compatible ECC registered memory for the motherboard wasn't all that easy though. System runs XP SP3 and surfs the web just fine, and in many ways just browsing and general Windows operations don't feel that much slower then my fastest system which has an E5200 Pentium dual-core running at 3.0GHz. Since Speedsys can't recognize the SATA drive plugged into the PCI SATA card, I have posted my Speedsys result from when I had a 30GB IBM IDE hard drive in the system.
