Hello folks!
Scenario:
2 configurations, same identical in everything (same cards, cache, RAM, etc.).
Assuming all the parts can handle well a 50 MHz FSB with 0 wait states (cache, RAM, VLB video card and VLB controller)
Only differences:
Setup 1: Intel 486 DX2 66 MHz CPU, FSB 33 Mhz, CPU multiplicator x2, CPU frequency 66 MHz
Setup 2: Intel 486 DX2 66 MHz CPU, FSB 50 Mhz, CPU multiplicator x1, CPU frequency 50 MHz (Although the multiplier is altered and the FSB higher, the CPU is actually under-clocked, so it should be totally Okay with that, am I correct?)
QUESTIONS:
Which would perform better? (of course real world applications, tasks, calculations, games... Not just CPU benchmarks)
Is this setup even possible? Like, is it possible to force that CPU's multiplier down to 1x ?
Thanks!
