Fits in the results from the graph above. Looks like this benchmark is a "little" biased towards SMP-systems. The BP6 in the same ballpark as a single P4-system? Great!

Here´s another one:

MSI K7D Master-L, Dual TBred (A+B mixed!) 1800+ (1533), 768 MB RAM:

8,86 s

If I only knew what it´s measuring

Did you obtain a score?

Seems to be Japanese, and I don´t understand anything. But gives believable results. For Windows.

My BP6-Score: 19,58 s (lower is better)

The Palomino has a larger die, more like a square. And they have different labels: The Palomino is labeled "AX1700xxxx" while the Thoroughbred is labeled like "AXDA 1700". The color of the oackage (green or brown) does not matter. Pictures : Palomino: http://cpu-museum.de/?a=i&f=f&s=l&id=0258&n=AMD+...

what voltage could u use on the 523mhz? i bet 1.9 was stable. seems like these cellys go wacky just past the speed you need to increase the voltage. i have a single 366 reported by mbm at 506mhz. stable at 1.9v. if i go past that it wont boot to the os even at 2.2v. You´re right, the celerons seem ...

The Celerons might just not go to 550. I have tried at least three different sets of Celerons on different BP6s and none of them was perfectly stable at 550. At least one of them would go to 600 Mhz and all would do 550 Mhz in a single CPU configuration. But not in SMP mode. The instability was only...

K7D Master L http://216.170.15.226/k7d_master.jpg Click on pix for specs I paided $160 for it. That was some time ago. These may be cheaper, now. Only real downside is, it uses registered RAM. Well, you can use up to two sticks of unregistered and non-ECC-RAM. Officially supported. I do on my K7D, ...

You will be limited to a sustained transfer rate of ~25MB/s on the ATA33 controller. My Samsung reaches ~40MB/s on the HPT366, but you´d better stay off the HPT if you want to be on the safe side. AFAIK access times are more important for desktop use. They should not differ too much between the onbo...

Might be the CD drive. If have an older Pioneer DVD reader and a 24x CDROM which have problems with some copy protected (original) game cds. Had to use cracks for that. I think they are overdoing this copy protection thing. They say Far Cry does not install on systems with certain CD burning program...

120 GB Samsung 5400rpm. On the HPT366

Had trouble with a Seagate U7 60GB and a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB before. Maybe that controller doesn´t like Seagates...

I think you can mod the duron to run in a dual athlon board. There are some problems with the "new" Athlon T-Bred/Applebred package. First, all bridges on the cpu are covered with a thin layer of organic material. Second, these cpus are multiplier locked since about week 43 in 2003. So you have to ...

Erunt is a great tool for backing up your registry. I´ve used it several times for my W2K installation, and it works perfectly. Even if you can´t boot your NT/2000/XP, Erunt allows you to restore the registry of that installation from another OS, like Win9x oder DOS. Only one premise: Drive letters...

I´d like to add that it works nicely with the RV BIOS. Don´t care what the device manager says... ;) I´ve had a lot of trouble with my BP6 during the last two weeks after flashing the original RU BIOS with my 60GB Seagate U7. I had installed it with the Abit Beta BIOS with the HPT 1.25 BIOS and ever...

If you use an external controller, I can´t see why transfer rates should suffer. What OS are you using? Did you check if DMA is enabled?

On the HPT366 or the standard IDE? Is it really running in UDMA mode? Did you check transfer rates and access times (with HDtach or Diskspeed32)?

OK, 2nd try...

Switch the XP "Luna" GUI off, return to Windows classic style. Taskbar grouping + auto hide off. Set all Desktop preferences to "optimized for speed". Turn off all animations + effects + cursor shadow. Turn off system restore.

200%? That´s pretty easy.

Uninstall it.

Install Windows 95.

Or BeOS.

Wait... the slowest FSB setting above 66 is 72, right? So if you overclock it, you run the cpus at 7,5x72=540 Mhz minimum. That might be too much, at least in SMP mode. I´ve had three 366´s combos and none of them was perfectly stable at 550 Mhz. My current cpus would do 550 and 600 Mhz in single mo...

What´s the lowest FSB setting above 66 Mhz? 75? That would mean 7,5 x 75 = 562,5 Mhz. It is not unlikely that you can´t overclock your 500´s that far. Usually 600 Mhz is the absolute limit, but you might have had bad luck.

The FCPGA2 spec is a bit vague. Some are pin compatible with FCPGA, some aren't, eg my PIII933 is FCPGA2 with IHS, but it fits on an FCPGA board. Laater FCPGA2 chips have a different pin-out. Oh. Interesting. But your processor isn´t a Tualatin, right? I had always thought only Tualatins came in th...

Hi ntloser,

can´t really help you with the lin lin. But IIRC boards with the 810 chipset should support PPGA and FCPGA CPUs. So if you have a FCPGA -> FCPGA2 adaptor, you shouldn´t need another one.

What Fireball ist that? Older type? Capacity?

For me, the HPT366 has always been much faster, at least when it came to disk transfer rates. For my old Fujitsu 40GB, 25 MB/s was the limit on the standard IDE, while it reached 40 MB/s on the HPT366.
