Linux Hardware Looks at Core 2

Penguin Lover writes "Linux Hardware has just posted a new story on how Intel's new Conroe performs under Linux. From the article: 'Now is a great time to be CPU shopping because no matter which side of the isle you look on, you have great choice for both CPUs and motherboards. Along with Intel's chipset offerings, keep in mind that NVIDIA has the nForce series for Intel CPUs which would give you SLI support for all your Quake Wars and UT2007 gaming needs.'"

    >I love capitalism.

    You mean "market economy", because not all market economys are capitalisim. In the capialism is capital the only god, while some market economys exists, where capital is only a normal player on the market, so that there are no need to sacrifice Humans to make more Money.

    I knew my capitalism comment would bring a reply refering to the "sacrifice of Humans" or some other such dogma. /. is so predictable. And as is also usually the case, the reply comes anonymously.

  4. Conroe performance for developers by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wow, what a letdown! I thought I was finally going to get to see how Conroe performs at compilation, with some different -j settings on make. I see a LinuxHardware Conroe review, see optimization flags right there at the top; and think surely they'll pit the processors against eachother for a test at the compilation of a major project such as the Linux kernel. Nope! A bunch more enthusiast benchmarks. I'm really sick of that. SpecViewPerf? Come on, even LinuxHardware forgets about developers? Besides a few inexacting forum posts, I have yet to see anybody do compilation benchmarks with Conroe. LinuxHardware, you suck.

    This is nice and all, but when is nvidia going to release drivers for X.org 7.1? I've been without real graphics drivers for about a month now, its getting old fast.

    And he's following the writings of a something a guy named Silvio Gesell wrote in 1891... Discredited economic theory from a non-economist. The main flaw, in my non-economist opinion, is that he advocates seperating money from power. All that would do is make money worthless since people really just want power. For an example see the Soviet Union or Mao's China.
