Please add the following graphics cards to the database: ATI 3D Rage II ATI 3D Rage II+DVD Matrox Mystique Specifications for two of cards (and many more!) can be found here: http://www.512bit.net/index.html Partitial specification for the Rage II+DVD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ati_rage#3D_RAGE_II_.28II.2B.2CII.2BDVD.29 Also please don't forget to add this CPU: http://www.hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27158

Well, personally I do not mind benchmarking old hardware with limited capabilities and try to follow the rules are far as the hardware allows me to. But if there is some disagreement regarding this, perhaps the HWBot crew should look into this issue and make a formal decision?

Please make it possible to search the comments of benchmark results or at least filter out all results without comments (with comments I mean the small comment that you can include when you post the actual result, not the discussion-forum like comments by other users). The reason I would like this is because quite a few times I have browsed thru old benchmarking results looking for comments regarding voltages used and other useful information before I do any benchmarking.

Please add the Embedded Pentium MMX 266 to the database: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1860308 (CPU-Z appears to mistakenly identify this as a mobile CPU. I believe the rest of the data that CPU-Z shows is correct though).

I think 3Dmark 99 and 2000 contributes to the completeness of HWBot since these benchmarks can be used on many of the very first 3D graphics cards. Since cheating/tricking of the CPU scores seems unavoidable you could limit the maximum allowed CPU frequency to 1.0-2.0GHz or so. Benchmarking of modern GPUs with 3Dmark 99 and 2000 could also be disallowed since these old benchmarks are not very useful for benchmarking modern cards anyway.

Cool! :-) I'm curious too see what benchmarks you will be able to run on it and what the performance will be.

No Microsoft OS support any of the SPARC (sub)architectures. You will have use some sort of emulation if you want to run win32 applications. Linux might not be the best choice either support for SPARC proabably isn't very good these days (Linux has very good documentation though. That is why I mentioned it :-). Edit: If you want to do some bencharking on a cool non-x86 architecture you should buy an early Alpha system. Windows NT 4.0 has support for Alpha and DEC made an emulator called FX!32 that will allow you to run win32 applications. :-) Hopefully at least one or two benchmarks will work on the Alpha.

Press the key marked "interrupt", break (or something similar. I suppose you have a french keyboard for that thing?) + the "A" key.That gives you access to the ROM. Hopefully it is not locked/password protected. If it is you will have to figure out how to bypass that. Once you have full access you can boot whever device you want. Do some googling for a guide how to install Linux on a SPARC system and you'll figure out what to do :-)

Can't you manually force it to boot from whatever drive you choose?

Nice! I was not aware of that it was possible to use 0.5 multiplier (the lowest I have found was 1x).

Hehe, that would take years!

Nice. That is a 16bit system. SuperPi and the other benchmarks are 32bit applications so it won't work. You could try to figure out what voltage(s) and current(s) it needs and make your own PSU for it. :-)

Thanks guys! @Christian: Intel did make 12MHz 386 CPUs. :-)

It depends on how SuperPi does the rounding to even seconds. I am guessing that 499ms is correct. :-)

I have encountered bug. I made this submission: http://www.hwbot.org/community/submission/2133058_drswizz_superpi_386sx_16_27days_19h_31min_43sec_488ms?tab=info and added 499ms to my score to make up for the fact that I was using the old SuperPi application. Yet my submission shows up as if I have only added 488ms, but when I open the window to edit my entry it correctly shows up as 2403103.499 seconds.

Thank you!

Please add the following CPU: Intel 386SX 16MHz

Thank you!

Sorry. I guess 'bayimg' is not is good & reliable as I thought it was. Try these instead: http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/4026/intel740.png http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/1749/intel7402.png http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/7055/matroxg100.png http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/8813/matroxmillenium2.png Thank you!

I have also reported scores that seem alright, but have been submitted to the wrong category, but the moderators don't seem to care. :-(

Here is the info: http://image.bayimg.com/jadapaadn.jpg http://image.bayimg.com/jadamaadn.jpg http://image.bayimg.com/jadalaadn.jpg http://image.bayimg.com/kadabaadn.jpg The clock frequencies everest shows for the Millenium II are wrong: Default clocks for both GPU & memory is 66MHz. CPU-Z does not show much for the AX6BC motherboard, http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1650497 It is a Slot 1 Intel 440BX based board. :-)

Please add the following graphics cards to the hardware database: Matrox Millenium II 4MB PCI Matrox Millenium II 8MB PCI Matrox G100 4MB AGP Intel 740 8MB AGP Also please add the following motherboard to the database: Aopen AX6BC

It sounds like you have plenty of fun to look forward to then. :-)

Ouch! That is painfully slow!

Actually it 'only' took about 10-12 hours or. :-)
