Dear primers, This week I swapped my pentium [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2.5*75) for a pentium mmx 200@225 (3*75) To make sure that I did not overclock too much, I did run the torture test for some time under win95. Funny sideeffect : I could hear the program running because the on board switched power supply made a periodic high piched sound. When I did a time test for a 10M exponent it timed at 0.48, and a 6M at 0.28 A Pentium mmx @225 should be comparable to a pentium mmx @ 233 The gimps benchmark page lists a 10M exponent time for a P1mmx@233 at 0.637, and a 6M at 0.386. Somehow my pentium mmx is much too fast ! When running the same timing using linux mprime, I get a 10M time of 0.92, and a 6M time of 0.56. This is much too slow, and almost exactly a factor 2 slower as when using windows ! So, whats going on ? Anybody an explanation ? Something wrong with my system, or only the timer ?
