Re: AMD-K6 Bogomips problem solved (sort of)

to feel a performance increase : yes !
i'm running distributed.net clients and the rates went up.
however i'm not sure since i've change the clients also at the same time
:-( ....
otherwise the box is primary the home of www.patoche.org (with LTT, and so...)
so the box is not heavily used... so i can't see a real difference.
i care because i'm sort of an unlucky guy : if there is a bad hardware it's
for me.
previously i had a bad disk, and a bad motherboard.
with this new computer (2 weeks old) i already had some memory chips problem
(as it seems a manufacturer produced memory chips which were not running at
all with K6 chips)
so when i saw this problem, i first thought i had an hardware problem...
so i just wanted to be sure that the computer is ok...
right now i don't crave for performance, so i switched back.
does that enlighten ?
