vswitchzero | My Daily Use 486 Build - Part 2 @vswitchzero | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
After a few weeks of distraction, I'm back with part two of my adventures in building a 486 for my daily gaming use! Be sure to check out part one where I go into detail about the parts I'll be using and my goals for the build. Today, I'll be building it on my test bench and will be doing some performance tuning and testing with several different 486 CPUs. I'll be tweaking the cache, memory and my VLB card and will be running a whole suite of benchmarks. I'll also be doing the opposite of performance tuning - trying to slow the system down sufficiently for speed sensitive games. Stay tuned for part three where I'll finally get the system properly built and do some gaming!
