I had issues with that particular board - it's under-performing with K6-III chips for some reason. Probably a BIOS issue.

Is that Pentium 350 MMX a real thing? That fastest I've heard of is 300MHz, and that used a 66MHz FSB.

I just jump wired the two pins.

I'm working on some projects using that board and K6-III+ and might also try the AOpen AX59 Pro to see how it compares.

For pure Socket 7, do checkout SIS chipsets. I have this Asus board and it's the fastest board I have. Supposedly it's a budget board which is funny.

There are also differences between DOS and Windows performance, it seems no board is the fastest, some are faster in DOS, others faster in Windows.

Please tell me (with a picture) which two pins to bridge on a tillamook to get 4x multi... I can't find any details about it?

1. AOpen AX59-PRO - ATX, 4 PCI, 3 ISA, AGP, 3 SDRAM, 2 SIMM, Supports FSB up to 125MHz (officially), 143 unofficially, VIA MVP3 Based, VIA 686B ATA66 Southbridge - supports voltages from 1.3 to 3.8V in 0.05v increments

My X59-Pro only has 2 ISAs...?

Now that everyone is down with their limp-wristed suggestions...

My GA-5AX 4.1 seemed to work just fine with K6-III, though it's an older revision. Or are you referring to the K6-III+?
How much did yours underperform?

I had the Gigabyte GA-5AA, before I killed it with a GeForce4, and it worked pretty well. Can't say it was the absolutely fastest but some of the scores I got with both a K5@116 and a PMMX@275(each@110FSB) were pretty high... Doom1.9 for example got ~106 and ~155 fps respectively in timedemo demo3.

Well I guise your right so to say, no wait, didn't ALR make a quad socket 7 system?

it was socket 8, iirc.

Yeah I think your right.

The DFI P5BV3+/ K6BV3+ seems to be a nice board too.

It's an MVP3 board. Some models's cpu voltage can go as low as 1.30V 😮, the other models can go to 2.00V
Somebody did document all of the features of that board (hidden or not) here : http://www.udo-richter.de/DFI/index.en.html

Apparently you can't really overclock the FSB higher than 100MHz (though it might just be something nobody looked for. There are apparently 3 jumpers to set for the frequency + a 4th one on the latest models which leaves us 16 possibilities while here, only 8 are shown)

Seing how low the voltage can go on the later models, I'm pretty sure you can fit a K6-2 or 3 + in there !
