I got a program named "setk6d.exe." and I try to find out how to set it
for the good proformance. The result is the following.
When you run the "setk6d" in real DOS mode, you will get the different
result
CXT and non-CXT CPU
As I, I have a K6-2 300Mhz and K6-2 400Mhz. I got the following massage
between two CPUs.
AMD K6-2 step 0, 301Mhz
AMD K6-2CXT step 12, 401Mhz
K6 and K6-2 :
If your BIOS don't have the "CPU Write Allocate", you can use the
"setk6d" command to enable the "CPU write allocate".
(1) edit autoexec.bat
(2) add the following command into the autoexec.bat
setk6d /on:XXXM
**** XXX is your system memory size ****
I am using "setk6d /ON:192M"
(3) save it and reboot
Note: If you BIOS have this function, you don't need to use this program.
K6-2CXT :
If your BIOS don't have the "CPU Write Combining", you can use the
"setk6d" command to enable the "CPU Write Combining".
(1) edit autoexec.bat
(2) add the following command into the autoexec.bat
setk6d /M0:LFB,XXXM <---- First Line
setK6d /M1:LFB2,XXXM <---- Seocond Line
**** XXX is your system memory size, the maximum setting is 128M
if you have more than 128M, you have to input the second line, ****
I am using "setk6d /M0:LFB,128M"
"setk6d /M1:LFB2,64M"
(3) save it and reboot
Note: If you BIOS have this function, you don't need to use this program.
