I just love it when things "work." I figured out how to get the CE display working w/ my 512K VRAM cs logic board - remove the power management module and reseat it every time before boot. A real pain in the ass and not a long term solution, but it will let me run some benchmarks...
I finally tracked down a copy of benchmark software and have run some tests on my 5300ce (stock, w/ extensions enabled). I'm currently running the same tests on my 5300cs 117MHz (up from 100MHz, extensions disabled - see my previous posts). Initially, (the tests aren't finished) it seems that the 5300cs 117MHz (I'm going to start calling this the 5300cse for 5300cs "enhanced" ... lol!) is at least exactly as fast as the CE. The CPU and FPU tests were actually _faster_ w/ the 5300cse! (But I think that's an artifact of running w/ extensions disabled). I'll post the results of the benchmarks on my website tonight, so everyone can go have a look (say, after 8pm mountain time). Mad Dog: I took a look at the 190 logic board. The VRAM (and RAM as well) are not the same on the 190 and 5300. However, the VRAM solder points on the 5300cse are itty-bitty (not much bigger than those of the 603e itself)... I could give it a try, but I'm not so confident that my soldering wouldn't make a mess out of it.... So you have a dead 5300 board? What killed it?
