Howdy,
I used to have a Pentium 100 but it died and was given a motherboard replacement equivelant to a p100 as a replacement. It workd fine but Lame crashes when I try 2 use it with any pre compiled verion of Lame 3.91. Any Help Would Be greatly appreciated. (I'd hate not to be able to use LAME!!!!)
Thanks in Advance,
Scott

OOPS! I Forgot to mention that is was a cyrix chip

..... So 63 Views and no help So nobody knows how to help me?

may I guess: overclocked cpu?


Jan.

You were given a Cyrix chip as a replacement for a real Pentium?

Get it back and _demand_ a real Pentium:

a) the Cyrix is MUCH MUCH MUCH slower for audio encoding

b) it's not fully compatible with the Pentiums, this is likely why the LAME binaries crash. try to find a nonoptimized binary

c) much more susceptible to overheating problems

Yeah, I had a "Cyrix 200" at one point, it ran about as fast as a p120 for many applications.

And these days you can probably buy a real p100 for about $1, not to mention even faster chips, so it's not really worth settling for a cyrix...

Howdy,
It dosen't matter anyways. A friend of mine is going to install a p166 processor in the motherboard I have. So i'll put up with what I have until then....
Also I have tried build from about 5 sites all crash weird...
Anyway Catcha Ya,
Scott
