About MAthlon: MAthlon is a program that allows the user to alter the L2 cache multiplier on AMD-Athlon(tm) processors (hence, it does not run with Thunderbird and Duron processors, which have their L2 cache integrated on-die). This function is a perfect match for GFDs (Gold Fingers Devices), which allow the manipulation of the Athlon's multiplier and core voltage. Since the L2 cache multiplier cannot be controlled via GFDs, any GFD owner (who would rather not solder the R102 resistors on his/her CPU) should download MAthlon. That way, MAthlon and the GFD allow the complete manipulation of all the Athlon's settings! From V3.00, MAthlon runs under ALL known operating systems! If possible, always use the latest final version of MAthlon, and only drop back to a previous one, if the latest doesn't work. If you have problems with the latest version, email me: (Márton Balog) |

2000.08.19. Beta testing of MAthlon V3.00 has begun with a Beta 1 version. For information, go to the Beta page (click Home above, and Beta Info at the main menu.). Until V3.00 becomes final, all information about Beta releases is to be found there. You can download any MAthlon release, including Betas, from the main page using Direct Download (click Home above for access). |

2000.07.14. MAthlon V2.00 [Build 134] is now FINAL, done with the beta stage testing. As you may already know, MAthlon V2.00 is a DOS Device Driver, loaded from CONFIG.SYS. This way, all Windows, EMM386 and other software conflicts have been resolved. To install, just place a line in CONFIG.SYS something like this (make sure it is the FIRST line in CONFIG.SYS): DEVICE = C:\MATHLON\MATHLON.SYS -1/3 (Assuming you have put MATHLON.SYS in the C:\MATHLON directory and that you wish to use the 1/3 cache multiplier) |

2000.07.14. Here are the previous versions of MAthlon. MAthlon V1.10 should be just as good as V2.00, except that it loads from AUTOEXEC.BAT, rather than CONFIG.SYS, so it is incompatible with many software, including all memory managers, etc. MAthlon V1.00 should not be used as it is very incompatible and locks up with many motherboards. It is only put up here for reference. |
