According to Tom: > As far as CPU and memory bandwidth, what is the fastest possible freebsd > system? I thought it should be the PPro 200 with 512k onchip cache. I > heard some talk that a 233mhz PPro will be available soon. You can already run your PPro/200 at 233 MHz (3.5x 66 MHz) or more if your motherboard support it. > The new K6/200 looks interesting.

It is probably possible to run it at 2.5x 83 MHz or probably even 3x 83 MHz. The K6-166 can already run at 2.5x 83 MHz (mine does without problem). I have a ASUS P55T2P4 rev. 3.1 and it supports 83 MHz. I've heard that some of the ABIT M/B support it too. The K6 has 32 KB instruction cache and 32 KB data cache. Go have a look at <URL:http://sysdoc.pair.com/>; for many details. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #18: Sun Jun 8 15:32:28 CEST 1997
