The computer with processor AMD Duron-650

Pattern of the system used in testing.

The motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7ZM (chip set VIA Apollo KT133).

The processor: AMD Duron 650 (cache memory L1 — 128 Kbytes, cache memory L2 — 64 Kbytes, working on complete frequency of the processor, standard clock rate FSB — 100 MHz, power of a kernel — 1,5 In, the processor plug — Socket A).

Dynamic storage: 128 Mb DIMM PC133 SDRAM.

Hard disk: IBM DJNA 372200.

The videoadapter: Creative 3DBlaster Annihilator Pro.

Sound map Creative Sound Blaster Live! (CT4760).

OS: Windows 98.

Dispersal.

In the course of dispersal frequency of the system bus has been step-by-step increased about 100 MHz to 110 MHz. The further increase clock frequency buses led to astable system operation, that basically is linked to features of the architecture of the bus of processor EV6 and chip set VIA Apollo KT133 on which basis the used motherboard is created, and also with topology of the motherboard and with quality of its manufacture.

Results of testing are resulted in the table and on fig. 1, 2.

In summary it is necessary to mark, that the given method of speeding up of operation of processors AMD Duron and AMD Athlon (Thunderbird), is not the only thing. There were messages on release of the motherboards allowing by means of built in hardware-software resources to remove locking of private coefficient. It allows together with increase clock frequency the processor bus to reach new heights in struggle for productivity of the processor, and, therefore, and the computer, but it is a subject of the future researches.
