I think the mobo is junk. I got it to run a 1M in over 9 minutes. CPUZ shows it's running 4.5x50mhz, but the POST screen show 450MHz. There is no settings for a 50MHz bus? It's unstable and crashes allot. I overclocked it to 500MHz all the time. Guess it's all over for it. 🙁

I'll try a 233MHz Pentium MMX in it as see what happens...

edit:
POSTs Pentium 233 MMX, but CPUZ shows 3.5x33? I did 12:54 1M, at 115.5MHz.
 
It has a 6510, realy just a 6502 with bank switching because it had 64k ram and could switch in another 4k of rom with MS basic. As I remember it has a clock of 2mhz. It's one of the best computers yet with it's life of well over 10 years. It never realy got upgrades, but programers got better and better. Now programers are lazy and depend too much on hardware to do their job for them.

Hey Conroe, are you using a VIA MVP3 chipset or what? 8O

The Asus P5A-B is a ALi Aladin 5 chipset, I think most of the VIAs are dead too. 🙁

I have a SIS chipset board to try!

Just for you, I slapped together a K6-2 500, with 64 megs of ram, and a very old 2 gig hdd (win98, old install), on a gigabyte GA 5AA mobo.
1 m time 7 mniutes and 31 sec. The only serial mouse I still have, is a little broken.

My spare machine that folds. It can do 56 seconds without heaps of crap running.

Thank you endyen 😀
 
You know what.... this has to stop from now on... any posts made need to post a screenshot to prove it...

I keep seeing 28s etc... well funny that my 3.2GHz rig can barely hit those numbers.

(Athlon64 X2 4800+ @ 3.2GHz).

Anything lower then 34s on the rigs you guys are posting seems like total bullox to me. A 2.5GHz A64 can't hit those digi's. If you wish to contest it then post a screenshot... cuz I'm not believing some of the numbers being posted here.

FYI.. an Athlon64 3200+ Socket 939 oc'ed to 2.4GHz get's 36s. Therefore I fail to see how the same CPU oc'ed to 2.5GHz can get 28s like some here are claiming.

Then tell me how do i do a screen shot?
 
does anybody here have an old Commodore...??? :lol: I'd like to see what Pi times on that are, just for laughs :lol:

I amnot sure if you can run that algorytham on 16bit C64 CPU.
Anyway If you adopt it, you will not be able to calc any of the SPI values becouse the C64 has RAM to do only a 4k calculation, considering that the algorytham and the os should fit in 32kB and the rest 32kB of RAM are needed for the 4k calculation.
Maybe with the magic of some discutants here on the forumz you can allocate the data in 4k, like the 12MBs that can fit in 4MB L2 cache of Conroe.
 
heres mine on the system below

1M in 35sec

and heres the pic

and yes there is a hot blonde behind the proggy...

if i up the fsb to 225 i get 34sec!!! at 1M a whole second!

The 6510 is a 8bit CPU, just like the 6502 in the Apple ][. It has a 16bit address bus so it can only access 64k of memory at one time. It has a totaly different instruction set than the 8086(16bit, x86) that was in the PCs at the time. AMD made some of those for Intel, and later stole the design and made there own. AMD and Intel settled out of court. Before that Zilog had stole it and used it with their Z-80.

AMD K6-2-350:
K6-350pi.jpg

Need video drivers for my Rage 128 PCI card I'm useing, the onboard slowed it down allot. It would not fit the whole pi run on the screen.

I need to find the manual for jumper settings for 4.5x to run the K6-2-450. It's ECS P5SS-Me mobo.

Don't know, but my 3000+ OCed to 2250 (9x250) gets 37s and when I oced it to 2520 (9x280) it got 33s. In both cases ram was roughly 250mhz. I have 2gb, but I can't imagine that ram has any affect with super pi. I should also say that in all cases, I'm running Nortons, utorrent and various other programs in the background.

Don't have a clue how to take a screen shot, and to be honest I couldn't care less if you believe it or not. The only reason I use it is to see if my OC might be stable. If it can't do super-pi...it definitely isn't stable

It is 16bit, has 16bit addressing, has 16bit registers and executes 16bit operations. How is it 8bit?
