In the article they state: "The Intel naming system used for the Pentium 4 processors in this class uses letters to represent the frontside bus speeds present. An "A" means 400 MHz, "B" means 533 MHz, and "C" means 800 MHz. So, a Pentium 4 2.4C would offer greater performance than a 2.4B or a 2.4A, despite them all having the same 2.4 GHz clock speed."
But this is wrong.
Original Pentium 4 CPUs used the Willamette core and ranged in speed from 1.3Ghz to 2Ghz in 100Mhz increments. They were built on a 0.18 micron process, had 256K L2, used a 400Mhz FSB, and came in Socket 423 and Socket 478 packages.
Second generation Pentium 4 CPUs use the Northwood core, built on a 0.13 micron process. They range in speed from 1.6Ghz to 2.8Ghz and come in 400Mhz and 533Mhz FSB versions. They have 512K L2 and come in Socket 478 packaging. Any speed where a Northwood and Willamette overlapped (like 1.6Ghz, 1.8Ghz and 2.0Ghz), the Northwood receives an A suffix. Any speed where both a 400Mhz FSB and 533Mhz FSB CPU overlaps, the 533Mhz FSB CPU gets a B suffix (2.4Ghz CPUs come in 2.4 and 2.4B flavors). The final
The second and a half generation P4 use the Northwood core, but enabled HyperThreading. They range in speed from 2.4Ghz to 3.4Ghz. There is but a single P4 CPU with a 533Mhz FSB that has HyperThreading - the 3.06Ghz. The rest are 800Mhz FSB CPUs. They still have 512K L2 and come in Socket 478 packaging. Based on the latest datasheets, all 800Mhz FSB P4s received a C suffix.
The third generation P4 uses the Prescott core, built on a 0.09 micron process. They have 1MB L2, still use Socket 478, have 533Mhz or 800Mhz FSBs, and use an E suffix to denote their core type when overlapping with 800Mhz FSB parts from the Northwood era. However, they use an A suffix to denote their Prescott cores when overlapping with existing 533Mhz FSB parts. For example, a 2.80A is a Prescott core on a 533Mhz FSB with HT disabled. Based on the latest specification update, Prescotts range in speed from 2.4Ghz to 3.4Ghz. HyperThreading is only enabled on the 800Mhz FSB parts.
This covers just the Desktop P4, not the P4 Extreme Edition or the mobile/semi-mobile parts.
Simple, women are smarter than men, and they already see that IT is a dead end field, like making buggies after the Model T came out.
Although there will still be IT jobs (unlike the buggy makers) from here on out IT will be drudge work, and not a desireable field to be in anymore. It is just that women noticed this first.

KOTOR was billed as an RPG not an adventure game, I enjoy RPG games. But in an adventure game you spend all your time wandering around wondering where you are supposed to be going.
I read lots of praise for KOTOR as the best RPG on the Xbox... perhaps, but to me it feels more like an adventure game with a few RPG things duck taped on.
Actually people "voting with thier feet" is how much of the USA was formed, people moving because of political economic and social reasons. (plus a few prison colonies, in fact more prisoners sent here from England than to Australia)
So if people want to "vote with their feet" by moving somewhere that fits their ideology, I say go for it, it is a basic human right in my book.
Personally I don't like Bush at all, I genuinly dislike him and would rather have "Not Bush" be president.
But Kerry was unelectable. Not because he is bad or evil or anything stupid like that, but rather because his only belief was "Bush was wrong." Without Bush there to be wrong he had nothing to say. Heck if he said "We should shoot all republicans and burn all Churhes in the country" I would have had more respect for him because he would have had some beliefs. I would not agree with him, but I would have had more respect for him.
We need to stop dumping cash at quick easy bandaids to solve the next problem and begin evaluating our long term priorities as a society.
The Wright Brothers should have stopped dumping thier research into airplanes and concentrated on making titan rockets, then think of where we would be today.
Henry Ford should have stopped concentrating on making cheap cars, and focused on making Star Trek style transporters.
Nuclear scientists should stop working on improving nuclear energy production and should focus instead on zero point energy that pulls power out of everyone's butt.
There are independent fire departments.

Errm I grew up in Africa and did not die of cancer by age 12.. nor did plenty of my friends. (there is a "white" population in africa)
And I spend enough time outdoors, that after moving back to the USA some of my friends had a hard time recognizing me when I lost my (very) dark tan. (yes I am now "pasty white boy")
My parents VCR that they purchased in 1987 was a cheaper model minus some features of the top of the line VCR. Well my Dad, being the kid of guy he is took it apart for some reason that I no longer remember, and inside found a hidden switch and after moving it, it became the higher end model. We even went and purchased a "replacement" remote for the better model to make some of the new features easier to use.

Isn't it fairly ineffecient to use the electricity to make hydrogen? It seems to me you would get more usable energy by just useing the power the solar cells create directly.
I don't know about that, cats do like to eat fish, but depending on them to keep the fish out of your hydroelectric generator sounds kind of optimistic.
It is my understanding that the G5 doesn't support ECC RAM, so how can you trust it's results? With that many machines, the statistics of a bit error in RAM gets quite high.

Lets see, 2000 was 5 years ago, so 8 year old hardware was only 3 years old when win2k came out.
Not all that suprizing. XP runs fairly well on a Pentium 4 or Athlon XP doesn't it? (3 year old hardware)
