64 Bit Athlon Notebooks Hit the Market

Posted by michael on Friday January 16, 2004 @10:07AM from the now-with-32-free-bits dept.

Omega1045 writes "Our friends at News.com.com.com are reporting that one of the first notebooks powered by the 64 bit Athlon will be made by (drumroll, please) eMachines. Slashdot has mentioned eMachines venture into 64 bit Athlon technology before. You also might note from this past press release that eMachines claims to be the 3rd biggest PC maker in the US. Hopefully this will have the dual effect of pushing the new chip into the market, and keeping it afforable of laptop junkies like me."

Do the Slashdot editors really need to call it News.com.com.com when it's clearly news.com.com (or just type news.com in the bloomin' browser...). The joke was funny, once, but now it's wearing a little thin. So CNET owns com.com. Big deal. Slashdot still wins the award for most unpronounceable web address! (Also, before you moderate, this comment is not offtopic...)

I can't cum anymore by Anonymous Coward · 2004-01-16 10:16 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I tried jerking off last night but since my favorite porn picture goatse.cx was taken down, I couldn't cum. I tried looking my own ass in the mirror but it was too uncomfortable of a position to jerk off in and my anus just can't hold a candle to the great and glorious goatse. I finally got frustrated and spilled some warm milk on myself as a facsimile of jism but it just wasn't the same. I beg of the Slashdot readership to please come to the aid of my plight!

Bold added by me. How the hell can that be offtopic? Read it again. Think about it. It's not offtopic. If you're going to moderate badly, don't moderate at all.

What about Packard Bell, from their first trip around before they had to flee the US market with their tail pulled?

I had a P100 tower. It had a 2.1G hard disc. Sorta. It had a 1.2G unit chained to an 850M unit with some firmware taping it together. All I knew is that not only was the whole unit bad when I replaced it, and the units seperately were bad.

I tried a little video benchmark.

No L2 cache.

You had to invert the box to remove the sides and access cards.

The board weirded out-- BIOS was always bad but it ran fine. Fortunately, by that time, a K6/225 and proper mobo were entering the upgrade-spares queue.
