Get better x87 performance out of your Pentium 4!.

Maybe worth the look?

What kind of real world performance does this get you?

 

[BurntKooshie]

probably 5-15, depending upon the app.

Oh my... 17%??? Someone really should do some real world app tests with this DOS compatibility thing disabled. Maybe the P4 is more powerful than everyone first thought

Just FYI - on the i850 (at least the reference board), this option is disabled by default anyway.

Re: performance &amp; p4 ... let's wait until SSE2 truly comes to use - then it'll blitz away &amp; shine nicely .

Wow. Mine is enabled!! Will disable it when I get home &amp; test... Thanks for the heads up!!
