Vetz - Yes, we need a PCI Matrox G200. All 177 CPUs have been tested using the same hardware. The exception with the hardware is that a different motherboard was needed when testing different socket CPUs, e.g. socket 7, socket 8, slot 1, etc. The motherboards employed thus far have been,
1 Biostar MB-8433UUD (UMC 8881F/8886BF) - socket 3
2 Biostar MB-8500TTD (Intel 430TX) - socket 7
3 FIC PA-2013 (VIA Apollo MVP3 - 598AT / 586B) - super socket 7
4 Asus P3V4X (VIA Apollo Pro 133A - 694X / 596B) - slot 1
5 Asus TUSL2-C (Intel 815EP) - socket 370
6 Gigabyte 6VX7-4X (VIA Apollo Pro 133A - 694X / 686A) - socket 370
7 MSI MS-6167 (AMD-750 Irongate - 751 / 756) - slot A
8 Asus P/I-P65UP5 with C-P6ND CPU Card (Intel 440FX) - socket 8
9 ECS P5GX-M (MediaGX + CX5530) - socket 7 GXM
10 Xeon motherboard - slot 2I had to use two socket 370 boards only becuase the VIA Nehemiah CPUs only worked well on a particular motherboard, whereby the Samuel-Ezra cpus also only worked well on a particular motherboard. In no instance did any one of my socket 370 motherboards work with the full spectrum of VIA socket 370 CPUs.
Luckybob - could you fill in the blanks for the Xeon motherboard you used?
I thought I had finished up the charts, but forgot about the 133 MHz Challenge charts. I guess I have more work to do.
Also, for 177 CPUs on a single chart, it requires a lot of scrolling and can be somewhat difficult to get a good sense of the comparison. I wonder if there is a better way to represent this data, like with a single sheet of text, or similar. Open to suggestions. I've included a sample of this dilemma.
A pdf would be a lot more readable.
