I don't
currently have a DRX2, but I do have a DRX, which is essentially
the
same thing without the clock doubled core. The
L1 cache made it about 20%
faster than an equivalently clocked 386. You had to explicitly turn on
the
cache, and set regions as uncachable. (Caching
the video card usually
made
for problems.)
Guess I want the DRX2 then. No sense in spending all that time on something
just to have it be less than optimal. I'll have to dig up reference sheets
on 'em.
BTW, what do you run on the DRX? I'm upgrading an IBM P70 luggable, the
target OSes are AIX-PS/2 and Solaris in particular, and then as many others
as will work.
