Yes the answers talk about Unix, but wath about dos/Windows applications...
remember that the video board is plugged in the Bus (the Bus clock
is a division of 33 in 66DX2 and a division of 50 in 50DX). Also I have
16 Mb of RAM...they all run at 50!Ok most of instruction resides in
the cache but....
Again my controller is plugged on the bus (atclk2/2) and dividing
the Bug Freq. for major numbers I found significantly slowings...
Someone does have tried bencmarks for DOS (those intelligent
benchmarks: using video board or programs executions timing, not
sysinfo or speed200 that reside in internal cache...)
