Has anyone tried to use the CPU060 program that comes with Phase5 accelerators to change the WAIT_STATES of the RAM controller to increase stability at higher clock rates?

Of course this potentially has the ability to make the system run slower, but it would be good to test.

Yep, what's the use of WAIT_STATES if they slow things down :).


In the situation where the CPU runs faster, the RAM runs slightly slower. Total system speed can be faster.

Dont forget the 060 will burst load it's caches and then run from cache at CPU speed. Some routines are optimised to fit entirely within the cache.

It's give and take, you'll just have to have a try.
