I have my Duron 750 on a new Epox 8KTA3 motherboard, with PC133 Cas 2, 4 way interleave (I have 256Megs on one stick), and all the BIOS optimizations that I know of (from Adrian Rojak's optimization guide), enabled.
In Sisoft 2001, my memory scores are just BARELY lower then the KT133A (that's 100fsb/133mem), and AFAIK the same or a bit higher then a KT133.
I overclocked to 933 and upped the voltage to 1.7v with a 133mhz FSB, did another bench of the memory in Sisoft 2001, and I now am very close (but still under) to the KT133A on Sisoft.
I've seen people posting higher benches (Though perhaps that was with the 2000 version of Sisoft). so am I benching good?
btw, is 933 @ 1.7 volts ok? I couldn't consistantly POST @ default of 1.6, but bump that to 1.65 and I could post and get through the BIOS. but as far as I can tell, it wouldn't finish loading windows (though maybe I didn't wait long enough? my computer doesn't use the HD all the time when booting Win98 probably becuase of the network card, which appears to add about 5 seconds to the total boot up).
so I boosted it up another .05 volts to 1.7, boot up fine, did those benches, been running RC5 ever since, played a bit of Homeworld (sweet btw on this CPU), and now on AT. no problems so far.
oh, BTW I'm running an original FOP 32, and I used pencil to cover all of the L1 and one of the L6 bridges (so that my computer defaulted to 933 upon boot and so that I could change the multiplier, however I just realized the voltage isn't at 1.7 default on the core.. hmm).
I'm not going to boost the voltage much any more, because I really am scared of ruining my CPU's lifespan.
