My dual Pentium 3 board will probably benefit from this. Nice!

    The thoroughbred and barton boxes I built and overclocked way back when...

    The thoroughbred was in an ECS motherboard that had slots for both pc133 sdram and pc2100 (ddr1) ram.

    Cool. I think I've still got my Athlon CPU somewhere in a drawer.

    I mean... I'm not against it... but why? Athlon systems are what... 20 years old now? maybe more? seems like i may just not be the best use of time and effort.

    Maybe they're using AI to run these improvements? That's about the only thought I would have as to why we would be trying to improve such old architecture
