AMD   Am5x86 P75   (Surfacemount package)
(no other model numbers on chip, lot #1375)

Write back causes weird behavior. 4x won't run. (Ed. Finally corrected!)

 Use setup /nm for W98. You may have SCSI problems w/98. I was never able to get it to run w/o DOS mode using the Evergreen. Put the stock 50Mhz back in and it was fine, so I am currently running NT4.0 svcpak 5 on mine. No problems with NT.

>I got it to run just fine with the type 3 dx50. Never understood why others had so many problems with it. 
 
From Peter
 That Type 3 DX50 (-xMx models) is the only exception I found so far. All my other machines (Mod. 90 / T2 DX2-25/50, 8595-AKD /T1 DX-33, 9577-1NA / DX2-33/66) fell flat on the face and into 16-bit mode. Only the "Lacuna" with the Fast SCSI-2 Future-Domain derived controller and the 9595-AMT with T3 DX50 worked.

> Is this upgrade possible with the Kingston Turbo Chip but not the Evergreen?

Jim Shorney
 Known to work better with the Evergreen. Cache policy probelms with the Kingston. Can't  see more than 32 mb, floppy no workie etc... Same problems with write back cache on the  Evergreen. Evergreen has the jumper which fixes those.

Ed- I have a TC133- I'll be verifying this on a complex with different FRUs.

Hi Terrance,
Well, this is another one of those subjects that has been discussed to death here, but here's the scoop:  I replaced the 486DX-50 with an AMD 5x86-P75ADW (some folks say you need the ADZ because of the higher thermal rating, but I had no troubles withe the ADW).  I used a
Powerleap interposer to get the voltage right, with a standard fan/heatsink, and set the CPU to x3 mode to get 150 MHz.  It happily ran OS/2 Warp 4.0 and NT Workstation 4.0 for many months (until last night when I installed the type 4), and was rock stable.  Not bad for a cheap,
screwy CPU...  :)
