I don't believe this question has been addressed yet. In a recent PC Magazine, they did a survey of about 30 SX machines. Just for the record, the machines that won awards were the AST, the Gateway, and the Zeos. The AST has 16k of cache, the Gateway has 70 nanosecond rams, and the Zeos 60 nanoseconds. No doubt, these played a major role in system throughput. But one machine was different in that it forces the SX to 20 Mhz. It was called a Citrus something or other. This was it's main distinguishing feature. It implies that one can tweak other boards to get this kind of performance. 1.) Does anyone know how to do this? 2.) Is it worth the risk with overheating the components? 3.) BTW, WHY does the componentry heat up? Thank you. -- "Nobody had the guts...until now..." |-$anjay "lock [+] on" $ingh ssingh@watserv1.waterloo.edu N.A.R.C. ]I[-| "A modern-day warrior, mean mean stride, today's Tom Sawyer, mean mean pride." !being!mind!self!cogsci!AI!think!nerve!parallel!cybernetix!chaos!fractal!info!
