Hi, i'm planning on make a post of every machine that i have, i wonder if is there a problem if i want to make a post per machine.
Well, let's go to the specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium MMX 200
Mobo: PCChips M558
Chipset: Utron VXPro II 😵
RAM: 64MB EDO? (don't know how to differenciate in between EDO and FPM)
Cache: 512kb on board
Video: Trident 9440 1MB PCI (trying to get something better, something in the lines of the riva 128 4mb or a rage pro turbo at least) -if someone knows a way to put AGP cards in PCI let me know how-
Sound: Crystal CX4237B-X03 based ISA (don't know the manufacturer or the model so no DOS drivers and no DOS support 😢 )
NIC: Realtek 8139C based Fast Ethernet PCI
HDD: Maxtor 8GB IDE
OS: Windows ME (later I will put the DOS real mode patch)
PSU AT generic
Generic ATX case
Any further details anyone want to know, let me know.
A little bit of history:
Well, this board was not working. After recap, the board seems to work perfect, aside the bios and chipset.
I had in a box waiting to be diagnosed. Now that's working I want to make some benchs and put some games on it.
Have to check if there is some bios update (doesn't matter if is not official) to support better processors or simply to get any NT based os to work (these doesn't work because of not detecting the IDE controller).
Wanted to use a USB controller to get Flash drives to work but in Windows ME my ALI USB PCI card is very buggy. Also have a NEC card but seems to have the same problems.
Now have everything over LAN sharing because that's the only way for me to put programs and games on that PC.
In reality I want to keep it with the Pentium MMX 200 or maybe get it to work at 75MHz FSB because the K6-2 is like playing Monster Truck Madness on a Core 2 Duo in XP, is no fun. Also this processor is more than capable. and without GPU is useless to further upgrade it.
Now some benchmarks:
Windows ME
Phil's Dos Benchmarks:
3DBench 1.0: 90.9
3DBench 1.0C: 84.7
PCPlayer Benchmark: 33.1
PCPlayer Benchmark 640x480: 11.6
Doom Min: 371 realtics
Doom Max: 1515 realtics
SI 8.0: 677.9
Landmark: 160MHz AT 341 MHz FPU (1602.30 MHz CPU - 3413.11 MHz FPU - 9452.31 chr/ms)
TOPBENCH: 377
Speedsys: CPU 149.04 (in the posted image are the details)
Final Reality Software: 0.71 (1.20 2D - 0.37 3D - 0.97 Bus)
More benchmars later (please recomend me some benchs)
Thanks.
PD: the machine now uses a Realtek 8029AS NIC and Windows 98SE, also changed the VGA to an Alliance AT24 with 1MB
benchs in 98SE
