there is no exception for competition in lowest CPU clock challenge

Yes, but there are an exception and that is when the competion is about SuperPi on 486. Since Win2k or XP doesn't work with 486, then you have to use WinNT (SuperPi 1.5 doesn't work in 98).
But I did not compete in SuperPi on 486 challenge, I challenge the lowest CPU-Z *validated* clock and for that, you must have latest CPU-Z. That means WIndows 2000 or Windows XP and there is no DOS before them, so what is necessary is to change the AMD K6 multplier INTO Windows NT enviroment.

GRUB4DOS can do the same. Used it once to init a soundcard in pure DOS, then boot to win2k without losing the effects of that action.
That is interesting idea worth exploring. I never using something like that... how does it work - exactly? Where I can put the files that I can execute during the DOS section and then how can I start WinXP?
But a pure WinXP-compatible Setmul will be *MUCH* better 😉 Any progress on this, please?
