Doubt it will get you to 286 speed but it might shave off a point or two in 3DBench. Loosening memory timings in the BIOS can slow things down a bit more as well.
Just tried that. Got a score of 8.9. This included setting to 120MHz, L1/L2 cache off, VPD, BPD, and the Tseng ET4000AX ISA video card.
I then tried with an OAK EGA/VGA card instead, and got down to 6.2. This is slightly slower than a 386 SX-25 I previously benchmarked. Still a bit too fast for my copy of Police Quest 2 though.
It's kinda funny to me I can throttle a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 to perform slower than I can throttle a Pentium MMX. 😅 (And that's without needing to change anything in the BIOS.)
