I forgot that the K6 is a 586-class CPU. ;) But the main memory speed is still less than 80MB/s that the P5-133/EDO with 2.1.5 (no FP-copy) gets. Is that EDO memory? Bruce, do you think you can add a code to disable the FP-copy when the chip is a 586-class but not from "GenuineIntel" (or whatever)? The only 586-class non-Intel CPU out there is the K6 (K5 too?), right? * I still can't overclock it at 2.5x 83 MHz. Only 2.5x 75 MHz works with the * K6 whereas it worked at 2x 83 MHz for the P133. That is quite normal. Intel is known to have more slack in their chips' specifications in terms of pushing it to the limit than their competitors. (Whether that's good or bad, I won't say. :) Satoshi
