Despite having shared memory, the on-board version of the Blade 3D is slightly higer clocked, with memory running at 100MHz, despite being shared, and core running at 110MHz according to documentation. That might explain why my old K6 felt faster - that or the nostalgia of FINALLY being able to play all those demo CD's I'd saved up 😁 I guess if I really want to re-create the experience, I really need to find an MVP4 that runs, or a Trident Blade 3D turbo witch is quite a bit higher clocked (135Mhz(ish) for both core and memory depending on model)
Alternate suggestion is to use a socket A board with Blade onboard and a 600Mhz Duron.... some of those might even be unlocked and you could maybe get them running at 500.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
