Intel 800 MHz FSB Processor Family Review

David writes "Techware Labs recently had the opportunity to spend some time with Intel's new 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB) processor family. The review includes a overview of the features in this processor family, Intel's new Springdale and Canterwood chipsets, and an analysis of processor scaling within this family. The article focuses on how the relationship between CPU and video card affect various aspects of performance."

    The perineum is the area of skin rich in nerve endings that is located below the anus (the opening for bowel movements). For men, the perineum extends to the vaginal opening; for women it extends to the base of the testicles.

    Because the perineum is so rich in nerve endings it often feels pleasing to have it touched or stroked. If one is comfortable with being touched on the perineum, its stimulation can be incorporated into a couple's lovemaking to further enhance sexual arousal.

    To make stimulation smoother and more comfortable, it is often helpful to lubricate your fingers before stroking the perineum during lovemaking.

    As long as the stimulation remains outside the body on the perineum, any type of lubricant (petroleum-base or water-base) will do.

    However, because this kind of stimulation is often associated with insertion of the finger into the vagina or anus, or both, a water-base lubricant is recommended and preferred.

    The anus is rich in nerve endings & participates with your genitals in the contractions of sexual arousal & orgasm. Anal stimulation greatly enhances & intensifies masturbation, oral sex, or intercourse. A good rule of thumb, when experimenting with anal play, is relax, use plenty of lube (the anus & rectum do not produce any lubrication of their own), and enjoy.

    The vagina is rich in vulvatic sensor spots & cooperates with your clitoral system in the up and down movements of sexual arousal & orgasm. Vaginal stimulation greatly enhances & multiplies masturbation, perienium stimulation, and orgies. A good rule of thumb, when experimenting with vaginal stimulation, is to relax, and use one quart of 10W30 (the vagina produces no lubrication of its own during normal stimulation), and enjoy.

    Can it divide?


    Seriously, this looks like a decent processor, with a reasonable chipset to go with it. I'm a bit concerned with Intel opting (again!) for overclocking hardware, rather than improving it. Especially when they keep insisting that overclocking is hazardous to the hardware, and make every effort to stop other people doing the very same thing.


    The 800 MHz FSB is just an overclocked 200 MHz FSB. Given that AMD just has to build a real 400 MHz, overclocked only once, or a real 800 MHz FSB to flatten Intel's offering, this is a chancy way to go. It was a reasonable gamble with the 486DX range, because there wasn't much competition on the chipsets. Anyone remember the 486DX-50? That was a raw 50MHz chip, no overclocking, that outperformed the 486DX-66 with ease. The supporting hardware was too expensive, and Intel never bothered working on making it cheaper. It was much more cost-effective to just keep overclocking the DX-33 further and further.


    Today, it's a different story. AMD isn't dependent on Intel, the way Cyrix and the other Intel-clones were in the 486 days. This is a tougher fight, and it's one Intel is losing, every time someone produces a faster processor or chipset. (Or even just a more reliable one.)


    Having said that, this looks a great system, and one that may well contribute to Linux being in more of the top 500 supercomputers.
