Appendix A Running Landmark System Speed Test
To verify that the onboard cache is enabled as well as proper operation of the SLC/Now!, you can run the
Landmark System Speed Test, provided on the Kingston Utility diskette. To run Landmark, follow these
steps:
NOTE: Due to the multi-tasking nature of both Windows and OS/2, running Landmark
in these environments yields inconsistent results. In order to obtain consistent results,
you must start Landmark directly from DOS.
Step 1. Insert the Kingston Utility diskette into Drive A.
Step 2. At the DOS prompt, enter the following commands:
C> a:
A> speed200
To bypass the initial screen, skip the video test, and run the test
without the beeping sound, type:
A> speed200 /b /nv /q [Enter]
The resulting bar graph indicates the relative speed in MHz of your CPU (Central Processing Unit) and your
FPU (Floating Point Unit, aka Math Co-Processor), if installed. We do not use the video bar for this test. For
example, if you have an IBM PS/2 Model 60 with an SLC/Now! 20MHz, the Landmark Speed 2.00 Test will
show a CPU speed of 45.90.
Use the charts below to find the relative speeds you can expect with cache memory enabled and disabled.

Cache Disabled
Note: When running Landmark System Speed Test on the 486SLC2/50, the "CPU CLOCK" value will be
17Mhz . This is due to the use of clock-doubling technology and does not indicate a problem. To test,
verify the CPU bar graph reports over 110MHz as compared to an IBM AT.

/nv
do not run video test.
/q
run in quiet mode (no sound). Note: Pressing [F10] while the test is running
turns sound off.
