  2. Re:Efficient? on Virginia MagLev Project Back on Track · · Score: 1

    What you have learned is that you do not spend public money on unsound technology and expect 2 million dollars to fix it. I also question the companies involved, as they seem to be shifty to me...Now we(US-taxpayers) are buying thier experimental gear from this Edgewater FL. test track??? Phoooey, pure junk i bet.
    It took an extra 500 million to get the japan system going...Now lets rip up the track and make this a pedestian walk way over Hampton Blvd. and get it over with already....

    I think that the US Military needs to concentrate on identifying planes and tanks. Our friendly fire rate is terrible for as long as IFF has been out.

  8. Re:Still not the fastest price/performance.... on HP Publishs First Linux TPC-C Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I thought the pricees seemed stoopid...Look what they are charging for 1 gig ram chips, plus these antique P3xeons dont seem worth that dough 2.5 mil????
    Geez P4 xeon DP 2400 mhz are now at $260
    I bet these would really whoop up. Quads are nice but
    racks of 24 computers costing that much are criminal.

  11. Tualatin Chips on Intel Tualatin Processors and Motherboard Support? · · Score: 1

    I just bought a Supermicro P3TDLE, a dual Tualatin board, with Serverworks chipset, so i have been researching the chips myself. It seems as if the clowns at intel have released two versions of Taulatin at 1200, one with 256K cache at 1200 (Cost $200) and a 1266 part with 512K cache(Cost $390+), which is also a dual processor chip, whereas the 256K cache Taulatins will not be dual processor capable. I also note they are using a Pentium III-S designator on some chips. What a bunch of idiots, just try and read the processor PDF files from thier own site!! It will give you a headache. I believe i will stick with my dual 850-FCPGA for a while, until the price settles on the 512K models.
