Thanks feipoa, this is very interesting.

Could you please try that version, and if it runs post a TXT report ?

Thanks !

Works 😁
Awesome job 😎
PS. 3,2GHz on NB Frequency and 1600MHz (effective) on DRAM Frequency.
Probably can't detect it because BCLK clock isn't showing (in my case BCLK = 160MHz), "SPD" tab is also empty.
Other readings are spot on (ah, total memory capacity is 12GB, but it's Win98 so... 😉).

I tried with the zip you just linked, but I receive the same error. Also, the system musts be hard reset once this blue screen appears. System frozen. Are there some dependencies I'm missing? Were other users able to run CPU-Z w/Win95 and the SXL?

No dependency is missing. The program generated an exception in the vxd driver.

kixs did on his SXL2-66 (Need help to improve the support of 486/586/686 class CPUs in CPU-Z) but in the meantime there were a lot of changes to improve the detection.
I'll try to figure out what can cause that, sorry for the BSODs 😒

Here is my mere contribution:

Mobo: Shuttle HOT-555A (CPU-Z reports the correct chipset, in my case an Intel PCISet i430VX

CPU: Intel Pentium 133 MHZ (non-MMX)

RAM: EDO 72-pin SIMM modules

Thanks. Does your system have L2 cache ? if yes, what's its size ?

It has indeed L2 cache AFAIK, if I disable it, my P133 slows at about the speed of a 486 DX, but as for how much it has indeed 512kB on-board. I have no idea unfortunately, I'd check how much I actually have on this system, maybe Cachecheck will be able to shed some light on this.

Edit: there you go, I found a old Speedsys screenshot when I benched my P133, it indeed shows that my motherboard has 512kB on-board.

I really need to pull out my EISA/VLB 486 machine and see how this works on it. It does have a 486 DX4-100 Overdrive in it that supports the CPUID command, but that SiS EISA chipset might be a challenge.

Any interest in me trying this on my Compaq Presario 2232 Cyrix Media GX machine? it's running 95 and no other diag software I have tried in the past manages to figure it out, most just plain crash, to this day I am unsure what the clock speed of the CPU is!

Yes, definitely, thanks !

I ran CPU-Z on my Cyrix MediaGX system. It contains a GX1-300 and is running at 300 MHz (33.3 x 9). The companion chip is the Cx5530.

Benchmarks with 1.89.7.x32 in,

Win98SE
CPU = 301.6
FPU = 1129.9

NT4
CPU = 307.5
FPU = 1151.6

W2K
CPU = 307.3
FPU = 1144.6

If running W2K, I am able to successfully load the non-Win95 version with revision 1.90.0, but after running the benchmark program, the CPU/FPU score remain at 0.

I noticed that a lot of information is missing, like multiplier, bus speed, L1 cache, DRAM freq, etc., but for another user (Garrett W), his system did display this information. He has a slightly differently system, based on the GXLV and has AWARD BIOS version 6.00GP, whereas mine is 4.51GP. Perhaps his newer BIOS is the reason? Also, he was using 1.89.1 which is older. His system has companion chip Cx5520, whereas mine is Cx5530.

Thanks feipoa.
Cyrix processors released after 1997 use the NS manufacturer name instead of Cyrix, that explains the missing infos.
I've added NS in the list, and treat them as a Cyrix.

Did you also update the non-win9x version for testing with w2k?

I doubt it, but cpuz_w9x.exe should work OK in W2K/WXP anyway. I have been testing some other changes on WXP and W10.

feipoa wrote:

No, but as Ray mentionned, the win9x version works on win2k.

I am aware that the Win9x versions works in W2K, as I have provided benchmarks for this condition above.

I am more or less asking if you do not intend to support MediaGX systems in W2K when using the non-Win9x version of CPU-Z?

Ran the updated executable in Win98se - I can see the additional information now, but I think some of it is incorrect.

It lists the GX1 as having a .35 um process, but wiki lists it as .18 um. Also, I am using the PGA-320 variant of the chip, not BGA-352.

Ah sorry I did not understand. Here is a "classic" fixed version :
http://download.cpuid.com/betas/cpuz_190.zip

Great! Tested it. Works like the win9x version, but CPU benchmarking still doesn't function. Also, under "Package" it says "Socket 5 (320)" I believe it may be closer to a socket 7 as it uses split voltage (2.0V core, 3.3V I/O). The ZIF on the motherboard says "socket 7", although only GX, GXm, GX1 CPUs will work in the motherboard. I've seen people use the nomenclature, "socket 7 GXm" which is probably more fitting.
