If anyone @exxos has GB6 results for PAK030 with ALT-RAM or results for any other high performance setups, could they send me them please
You should have all these in GB6

CT6066 - CT60 @ 66mhz
DEFAULT - STE TOS 206 8mhz stock
STE20608 - same as above
STE20616 - STE TOS 206 @ 16mhz
STE20632 - STE TOS 206 @ 32mhz
FALCON30 - Stock falcon
STFMT28 - STFM running T28 booster (thanks Sophie)
STFM1048 - STFM TOS 104 @ 8mhz (stock machine)
PAK030 - STacy with PAK 030 booster (thanks Darklord)
CT6090SV - CT60 @ 90mhz with Supder Videl (Thanks Fredrik)
MSTEB8 - MEGA STE BLITTER TOS 206
MSTEB16 - MEGA STE BLITTER TOS 206 16MHz
MSTEB16C - MEGA STE BLITTER TOS 206 16MHz CACHE ENABLED
PAK020 - PAK 020 STFM 16MHz
PAK020CD - PAK 020 STFM 16MHz with CACHE DISABLED
PAK02016 - PAK020 Booster running 16MHz (thanks Frank Lucas) - obsolete file ?
STE20682 - STE TOS 206 @ 8MHz 2 Colours - thanks IngoQ
ST20616 - STFM TOS 206 16MHz (V2.2 BOOSTER)
VELOCE - STE 020 BOOSTER
ST1048B - STFM TOS 104 8MHz BLITTER ON
ST2068B - STFM TOS 206 8MHz BLITTER ON
206STFPU - MSTE TOS206 LINEF FPU EMULATION

CT60 be the ones to go for. Not sure if the tests were running from allt-ram or not after all this time though. So maybe someone can do a new benchmark if they have a CT60'ed Falcon ?

Just for accuracy's sake, the Pak 68/3 results I turned in with
my STacy are at 40mhz (both '030 CPU and 68882 FPU) and
no Alt-RAM...

Thanks.

I think at the time I requested all tests be run from ST-RAM to keep it getting confusing. Though at the time, there was pretty much no alt-ram solutions to test anyway.

I guess I really need some new benchmark files with alt-ram involved.

Not sure if this has been discussed already, but would it be a good idea to also define between ALTRAM and TTRAM testing at some point too?

I always thought they were classed as the same thing in Atari-land. But I do understand alt-ram works in the standard ST 68k address space (limiting it to like 6-8mb?) And TT RAM is in 32bit address space with infinitely more available. Perhaps TT RAM is more of a misnomer, it was only called that because the TT was the first Atari machine to offer extended memory.

Its also faster, as its not the system bus speed but the boosted CPU speed.

In GB6 is could flag altram or TTram. Though I'd assume anything but a 68000 would be actually TTram anyway. But I don't think we should drive into all that in this thread anyway :)

Yep GB has all of those - but it now needs up to date results I feel - accelerators and the like. So, anyone out there that has any of these fancy additions, please submit your GB6 result files

PiStorm-Atari 68020 offers optimal results in most cases

The following two results are against CT hardware
