It took us a while to figure out how to post to Slashdot, but in the mean time set up a web page with more details. Click here to see more information about the project and what we did. Oh, we did clear up that 400Mhz thing here as well, it was indeed my fault, but what I should have said was we clocked a 600Mhz PIII at 400Mhz in safe mode. Basically, we were trying to get across a rough idea of the speed at which instructions were being retired to tie-into that 0.8 seconds. Many thanks for your post. Steve Jones, General Software, Inc.
In order to accommodate the numerous requests for more information about the General Software Quick Boot Soyo Experiment, we've set-up a web page and an email address for more details and additional direct queries. The web page contains more details, and a FAQ which the company would like to update based on inquiries to the email address. We would have liked to provide information in real time using Slashdot's software yesterday, but there were so many threads started at once, it was obvious we were going to be unable to answer every query. I would like to thank the Slashdot writers for an ongoing discussion that continues to be read by the company's employees with interest. -- Steve Jones, General Software, Inc.
