AMD Athlon 500 Overclocking with Cachedivisor

AMD Athlon 500 Overclocking with Cachedivisor Here are the AMD Athlon 500 Overclocking results with different cache divisor. Results from 17.01.2000: Now my second Athlon 500 CPU runs without any problems at 850MHz. I changed the cachedivisor to 1/3 instead of 1/2 to get the Athlon 50MHz higher. It’s questionable if it’s worth to increase CPU speed by decreasing the cacherate. But i notice only an insignificant difference between 1/2 Cache and 1/3 with benchmark programs like Final reality or … Continue reading AMD Athlon 500 Overclocking with Cachedivisor →
