You don't carry your cell phone around? What the fuck is the point of a cell phone if not it's portability? Do you also drink caffeine free coffee? What a prick.
the ZX has a different chipset - the DX uses the AMD 760 'set. Idiots like Tom's Hardware will always recommend some flaky VIA chipset that benchmarks 0.1% faster or is $5 cheaper. God knows why.
I'd like to see a Brummy fool break his leg in such a manner - you didn't happen to capture the moment for posterity with some kind of digital gadget, by any chance?
I'd love to see Etna go off and flood a tunnel with magma - that'd make for an interesting trip. This is madness Etna is VERY active and there are Great White sharks in that water! (no, really - I was in Malta once when some fisherman brought one in).
we replaced out Pentium III on Intel 840 workstations with Athlon Thunderbird and Palomino on AMD 760. We have suffered SIGNIFICANTLY less crashes and random lockups with our Athlon based 'stations. We used Gigabyte mobos in both cases - we have certainly found the GA-7DX series to be excellent.
I don't think so - the whole point of this x86-64 approach is to add 64 bit functionality while retaining top-notch performance in existing applications. If AMD CAN manage this - and it's starting to look like they can - then they deserve to wipe the floor with Intel. It'd be pretty hard to give meaningful 64bit benchmarks until we know what Itanium "II" can do.
yeah, we've got one too - but what does Sony's rebranding of the format tell you about it's success? Most of the limited success that SX has had has been down to Sony's agressive pricing on some really fine WS camcorders and the deck's low cost route of getting SP playback via SDI.

maybe you should dig out that Speak & Spell that your mother bought you for your 4th birthday

comment NOT aborted, Argentinian World Cup dream aborted!
who are you thinking of? George Bush Sr, Jack Valenti or the Godfather himself, Don Bill Gates? Are they ALL Sicilian?

only because the Romans had the good sense to build a wall.
Sicily needs a bridge to the mainland like New York needs another 'plane crash. What's next, a tunnel to Sardinia?
I dunno, you can take pride in when Sven's achieved - his tactics were absolutely spot-on!

but Hammer is a GREAT name! I would particularly like to get the multi-CPU version - THE MP HAMMER.
good call
Athlon Jr. please.

isn't notepad.exe P4(SSE2) optimised? Anyway, we all know that the Altivec-enhanced version of Simpletext is out now and kicks notepad.exe's arse!
I believe that the new naming scheme is something like this:
Duron becomes Athlon Jr.
Athlon XP becomes Athlon
Clawhammer becomes Double Athlon
Sledgehammer becomes Bacon Double Athlon with Cheese
if you're on windows, that's TWO licences you owe 'em!
haha!

I hae 'em because I had to make some video for them once - and it's probably the feeblest video playback device ever created.
you're not a nerd if you don't care about this kind of techno-trivia. To a nerd this is the very meaning of life itself!
I fucking HATE iPaqs! People were running webservers on Newtons Aeons ago...
