    The rights to the pilot are held by a different company, and they couldn't agree on a price, basically. Hopefully it will show up on its own disc someday. No Twin Peaks marathon on TV. He was talking about the DVD set.

    Sure. I didn't say that was what KLAT2 was using, just making the point that you don't actually see a full gigabit with GigE equipment.

  5. Re:Better throughput than Gigabit? on Cringely Wants A Supercomputer in Every Garage · · Score: 1

    Simple. No one actually gets 1000mbit from a GigE card. You're lucky to get 50MB/sec with a crossover cable. You can match that with four 100Base-TX cards. Actually, GigE cards are extremely cheap. Only about double the price of cheap 100mbit cards. It's the switches that are expensive. Still at least $100 per port.

    You definitely need monitor drivers in Win2k/WinXP
    However, 120HZ @ 1024x768 isn't exactly absurd. You only need a monitor with 92kHz horizontal scanning rate to display that.. Any cheap monitor should be able to handle that.

    There were some benchmarks posted recently, but I seem to recall that the subject lines weren't particularly "on topic." Makes them harder to find.

    From what I've seen on LKML, 2.4.12-ac3+Rik's patches is beating the latest AA stuff.
    I'm not an authority, but it seems like Mr. Archelangi's work is the way to go in the future. Right now, it seems like there are some ugly performance problems in certain situations. When all of that is worked out.. (In 2.5?) I think his code will probably be the future of Linux VM.
    Seems a little too new for me to want to run on my own machines, though.

  22. 2.4.12-ac3 on Linux Kernel Bugs · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you're going to run 2.4.12, I suggest adding the latest Alan Cox patch to it, as well as Rik van Riel's "hogstop" and "eatcache" patches.
    First, start with the base 2.4.12 kernel: (Use a patch to save Kernel.org's bandwidth, if you have a recent 2.4 kernel lying around.)
    2.4.12
    Next, patch it up to 2.4.12-ac3:
    2.4.12-ac3
    Finally, apply these two patches to 2.4.12-ac3 to yield 2.4.12-ac3+hogstop+eatcache
    Hogstop+Eatcache

    This is currently the ultimate in Linux VM performance.
