I bought few month ago this beautiful 386 mobo with a soldered 386DX40 chip, 64KB of ram and a Cyrix FPU. Name is "ISA-386U3PO" and POST string is "30-012b-001292-00101111-050591-ISA386U3-F" which seem to point Asus as the manufacturer.
Chipset is based on UM82C482AF and UM82C481BF chips.
My video card is a Tseng ET4000 with 512KB of memory (for some reasons it only wants to output video in black and white) and my memory is 8MB.
So whats wrong ?
Well when I run speedsys, I get this :
But looking at here, with the same CPU and same chipset, phil managed to get even faster ...
I've checked all the bios settings and everything is set up as fast as possible (I can only choose between "FAST" and "SLOW" for dram, cache, etc ; and everything is set to "FAST")
The turbo is enabled (if you look closely to ram benchmark, you'll see a small spike, that was just me pressing on the button just to check if I was in slow mode, but nope) so that's not the culprit here ...
Is it just my bios that sucks ?
