4. Example run and results

The LBT was run on my home machine, a Pentium-class Linux box that I put together myself and that I used to write this HOWTO. Here is the LBT Report Form for this system:

Test notes 

==========

Very light load. The above tests were run with some of the special 
Cyrix/IBM 6x86 features enabled with the setx86 program: fast ADS, 
fast IORT, Enable DTE, fast LOOP, fast Lin. VidMem.

Comments

========= 

This is a very stable system with homogeneous performance, ideal 
for home use and/or Linux development. I will report results 
with a 6x86MX processor as soon as I can get my hands on one!
