I have XTree for Windows (groan) and the only good thing about is Xtree Link.
This product is GREAT at joining two machines together and making one's hard

XTree Link has a cable diagram which they use.  They mention that the serial

MCGA was also used in the PS/2 Model 30.  The Model 25 was an 8086 system.  
The Model 30 came originally as an 8086, and later as a 80286.

        I cannot get the chassis apart to find out what type of

Let me try with my limited hardware knowledge.

  With 33MHz, you are accessing the memory at (1/33E6)secs = 30.3 ns.
  That is too fast as most DRAMs can only provide access reliablity
  of 70/80ns (older DRAMs -> 100ns).

  Hence 2 wait states slows memory access to 90.9 ns which is ok for the
  70 and 80ns DRAMs.

  With 25MHz, it works out to 40ns and hence would need only 1 wait state.
  Not 0.

It is true that 25MHz machines access memory faster than 33MHz
machines (80 vs 90.9ns).  But then the uP also performs other
instructions as well.  My rough estimation would be about 30% on
memory fetches and 70% for other internal register manipulations. 
Which puts the 33MHz slightly ahead of the 25MHz.
 
Also I'm waiting for the day when they come out with 60ns DRAMs.  I can
then reduce my 33MHz to 1 wait state and see it fly :).

Date: 6 Jan 93 13:10:35 EST

NNTP-Posting-Host: vax1.viccol.edu.au

I am looking for some guide to judge the performance of various PCs.
Obviously it is impractical to benchmarch all the available clone machines,
also it is hard to design a realistic benchmarch program.

What I would like is a sort of check list of mother board design features
that would tend to indicate that a system is a high performance system.

What started me thinking about this is that my AMD 386DX40 at home seems
faster than a i486DX33 we have at work. Both machines are similarly
configured with 8MB RAM. My home machine has a FOREX FR46C411, FRX46C402
chipset with 64K cache (20ns, 15ns tag). The work 486 has 128K cache
and a UMB (?) chipset.

I won't go on about which bus is best or video and disk performance because
that is another whole set of complicated issues.

Considering the currently available mid to high end processors, the
486DX33, DX2-50, DX50 and DX2-66 it would seem that actual raw compute power
depends only on the internal clock rate of the processor.

Moving data to and from the DRAM memory and I/O is where differences in
motherboard design (and external clock speed) come into play.

I believe the chipset on a PC mother board looks after
  Cache controller
  Memory Controller
  Bus Controller
funtions.

Which chip sets are the fastest?

Which type of second level cache is best?
(lots of buzz words: write through, write back, direct mapped etc. etc.)

Is second level cache much use?
(I think the IBM PS/2 Model 77 486DX2-66 doesn't have any!)

Are all ISA/VL-bus/EISA implementations created equal or are some
designs/chipsets superior to others for a particular bus type?

DX50 v DX2-66 which is better?
(I want to run X, and move bitmaps around, memory to video)


If I get enough responses I will post a summary.

This *is* confusing and I can't figure out why in the world IBM would
have gone ahead with their plans to use such similar chip names.
Anyway... the IBM chip is most likely their own 486 (they have full
rights to the 486 and the 486 microcode for their own use and to sell
to anyone on PC Boards... OEMs or end-users).  The "slc" part means
that it is low power.  I doubt if it is a Cyrix.

If the Opti motherboard chipset is so bad what are you comparing it to?  I'll
be intersted in a new motherboard soon and would be interested in the
differences (good and bad) of the different chipsets.

Send mail to me directly and I'll summarize to the net.
