Heh... Perfect task for those Trident 8900 VGAs - you can't go much slower than that! 🤣

I don't know what they did, but in most of these results both the FSB speed and the CPU multiplier read zero. How did they do that? Did they load windows first, then pull the FSB to zero? or is it just a fake reading...

That is a cool idea.... 🙄
Today I disabled the L1 cache on my Pentium III-S system that currently runs at 1045MHz/110FSB. It gets benchmarks and game-performance a little faster then a 386DX-20+387. 😀

By accident I stumbled upon this: Story behind the 10.74 MHz CPU-Z score As submitted by trodas.
Summary: Asus TXP4-X Mainboard, Socket 7, Intel 430 TX chipset. Pentium 90 CPU at 1.5x locked multiplier, FSB set to 7.14Mhz with jumpers.
