I attached Tom's Hardware Page. Check it out. When I set up my Tyan Tomcat III dual p5, I used the advice from this page to set up the timings. I purchased the p5-150's because that was the best bang for the buck. The first thing I did was push the bus speed from 60 to 66. And then I pushed the clock ratio from 2.5 to 3. This gave me 200mhz speeds. Once I got the memory right, it has been running like a charm. I am keeping it running all the time to see if I can get it to overheat and give me trouble. So far the cpus are running cold. I can touch them without feeling any heat at all. I am running Solaris 2.5.1 x86 on it, and I throw a good load at it from time to time. The memory I had originally was from TI, and the replacement memory was from Mu tech. -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088 --------------31D2DE924A7B7C1D61133CF4 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Base: "http://sysdoc.pair.com/" Tom's Hardware Guide =

In case you have been reading my news page, you are aware of my huge project of updating my entire website. I was planning to release all the new pages as well as the altered current pages all at once on one day. However the project is much too huge and after all I am currently testing several new motherboards as well. Hence I am releasing this renewed front page today and with it the first new pages. There will be quite a lot more soon and also the update of almost all of my 'old' pages.
There are still quite a few pages, which are of particular interest to my newer visitors.
These are:
Yes, and I am still on the look for some more sponsors!
Advertising on this website is the best a hardware selling or manufacturing company can do.
please visit my Advertising Information Page for further information.
This Page is designed to help and explain all the important hardware aspects of a modern Pentium/Pentium Pro machine. It should be helpful to beginners as well as to experienced computer users to make you able to understand how your computer works and how you can increase its performance.
Should there be any query regarding the information on this site, should you have suggestions what I could add, things you always wanted to know and ideas or complaints regarding the architecture or content of my hardware pages then feel free to tell me, ask me or annoy me.
