I watched Phil's excellent YouTube video on his 4-in-1 Super Socket 7/K6-3+ ' time machine', and I'd like to do something similar.
The part I am most interested in is the 386 and 486 performance configurations.
I'm not too bothered about going higher than a Pentium, as I have a PII machine that can take care of that side of things.
What I want to know is, can I use a regular (not super) socket 7 motherboard and a K6-2+ CPU for this?
I understand that the processor won't run as fast in the non-super board, and that's fine.
However, I'm concerned that it will run too slow even to get the proper 386 and 486 performance when I disable the caches.
My first ever pc was a socket 7 with a K6-2 in it, but that was a LONG time ago, and I have forgotten pretty much everything I used to know about pc's of that vintage.
If I put a K6-2+ in a regular socket 7 board, will the 386 and 486 parts of Phil's setup still work properly?
