DX4 vs Pentium
Gregory;
I did a comparison of a DX4-100 Intel chip to a Pentium 100. The Pentium
averaged between 2 to 3 times faster on a number of varied and random images.
At the time, I chose not to go with the Pentium because I wanted to be able to
use the maximum RAM on it (eventually) without having to sell or dispose of
SIMMS. This meant I needed 64 Megs of RAM to start. This is because they need
SIMMS in pairs. I couldn't afford that, so I passed on the Pentium at that
time. Eventually I will get one however.
DX4-100 Pentium
1:30 0:40
1:27 0:37
0:33 0:14
0:27 0:11
0:13 0:05
0:46 0:20
3:26 1:17
0:29 0:11
These were from a random group of animations I had. Some were supplied with
3DS, but I cannot be sure I hadn't modified them in some way. So I will not
post what they were.
Hope this helps,
Dennis
