ANDI'S BACK!

Hey hey folks..

Back on the net for the night while my dad's out :)

Temp on the T-Bird was around about 65 ish. I cant remember what the vcore was at, probably around about default, so I should have another play and see what I get. With my new cooling in I'd probably get better results and lower temps.

Thats the thing. I didnt know ANYTHING about computers. It was my first buy. And that stupid damned PC world assistant said "Ohh lok at this, its amazing"

So my Mum and Dad handed over the cash.

Cyrix absolutly suck.

Cyrix finally died after the P2s started to be released (in the sense that they pulled out of the cpu market), but people probably wouldn't see them as being so poor if they hadn't opted to use the PR system. People expected much more than they should have from them, bigger numbers were expected to be better - much like the system AMD are using with the XP/MP series..the difference being that these are actually good cpus that perform to the standard AMD claim.

O.k. Gas mask
got a point

But why in gods name would you want to have a cyrix cpu if you know anything about computers even overclocking it will not give you any good performance.

As you can see i do not like cyrix they are a waste of space and time in the computer business.

Oh they can can they? Try clocking a Cyrix MII 300. I looked around and if you clock it to about 302 it dies. So heh :P

Ahem.

"Quite stabily" means it would post and boot to windows, but he couldn't do anything with it...Not sure what he did to the voltage, but the temp was well over 50C idle.

50%?? Pah! I wave my break wind in the general direction of your 50% overclocking!

My 750MHz K7 T-Bird AXIA has been run, quite stabely at....

1250MHz!!!!

Thats an astounding 67%!!!

If I really messed about I might just be able to squeeze a little bit more out, but I doubt it would be worth it..
