Athlon MP Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the getting-multi-proc-on-you dept.

RendEr writes "At The Tech Report, there's a review of AMD's latest multiprocessor chip, the Athlon MP 1900+. Watching this thing smoke through Linux kernel complies is a beautiful thing. Combined with AMD's new 760MPX chipset, these chips could help usher in a new era of cheap dual-processor desktop systems. "

    This reminds me of what happened with Kerberos.

    I can only hope that the proposal in the courst right now for the MS settlement case goes through, the MS be prohibited from issuing "breakware" stuff that breaks other companies systems, software, etc.

    I have said this many times before, but I used to like MS stuff alot, but now it seems the everything new thring they do just makes me more and more cynical of them. They have lost my trust long ago and far away.

      You mean the one titled "DVD player chipsets to support windows media files"? Yes, I'm wondering, too. Hitting refresh and then getting "Nothing for you to see here. Please move along." is sort of strange.

    This is really off-topic, but did anyone besides me (and a bunch of people in my office) notice the removal of the Slashdot article about the new DVD spec playing WMA files?

    Where did the Microsoft/DVD story go that was on the front page?

    It was there for a bit, read some of the posts. Reloaded the front page and it was gone! I hit my browser's back button only to find out that the entire story was gone.

    Maybe it was just a glitch and it will be back?

    Geezus, chill out, its scheduled to go up 15:01 GMT. I think someone slipped up and posted it and then moved it so there were a few comments posted. That occasionally happens.
