    Benchmarking a 486

    Benchmarking a 486DX5/133 (kingston turbochip)

    Here are some benchmarks, just for the curious. This was with SiSoft Sandra 2002.
    The system specs are as follows:

    AMD 5X86 133MHz (486DX5/133) 16KB L1 cache (Sandra reports 213MHz b/c of no CPUID, perhaps? )
    Dell "D-Type" motherboard
    64MB EDO DRAM 60ns (4x16)
    Diamond Speedstar 2000/64 2MB ISA graphics accelerator (Cirrus logic 5429/34)
    2GB/6GB caviar 5400RPM HDDs on SIIG card
    32X Poineer CD-ROM
    Teac 3.5/5.25 combo drive
    3COM 10baseT/10base5 ISA ethernet adapter
    Sound blaster 16 ISA
    Liteon 223Watt AT PSU

    Win98 SE

    Well, well.

    Who would have known?

    According to intel, everything AMD is inferior to their CPUs, so,
    if I follow intel's guidance,


    my 486 will kick your 2400+'s a**!

    My parent's 33 mhz macintosh can take you all,

    because Apple says all macs are better than all pcs!
    This is where my signature would go if I wasn't so lazy.

    A very informative benchmark, I have been dying to know how they compare
