Difference being that the ClawHammer will come out at about 1GHz and the Willamette will then be at the 3Ghz mark, and soon be replaced by the 90 nanometer Prescot introduced with a 667 FSB and a 3.2GHz clock speed. AMD has recently run into some performance and heat problems with their next line of.13 micron 32 bit CPU's despite the smaller die and reduced power requirements. The processor (x86) offers little performance gain over its additional Athlon XP line that is at its max potential (as opposed the 10GHz max potential of the existing P4 line). The Itanium 2 benchmarks show a great deal of potential as well. I wouldn't say AMD has Intel's processors beat. I think Intel will pull a sufficient lead on AMD over the next 6 months.
If you are going to attach a keyboard anyway why not just use a laptop? I will be using one or the other next simester but am not sure which. This is off topic but I am hoping one of you/.ers could lend a hand.
here is a partly on topic post I read on osnews.com recently, I am looking forward to when the GCC 3.x series gets packaged with major distros...
"Scott Robert Ladd has updated his GCC versus Intel C++
compiler benchmarks. This time round he includes updated results of the recently released GCC 3.1. The new version of GCC seems to be much better than its 3.0.4 predecessor, and GCC 3.1 even wins some benchmarks it lost previously over ICC. Overall, ICC remains a much faster C/C++ compiler, but GCC has successfully narrowed the gap. Read Scott's interesting conclusion at the end of the article too."
Slashdot should post stories on the nightly builds as well.
Yes but with Mozilla finally rounding off to 1.0 after so long this is somewhat of a geek new years countdown. We could break out some cases of Jolt(TM) and drop a retainer with a wired LCD mod to celebrate the occasion. We should have plenty of band members and I can sing a mean Karaoke. I could even bust out my AYBABTU sound track.
I think it's past my bedtime...
This is true, You can't use this same method with RCA modems because they won't accept or request the TFTP config file from the CPE (LAN) interface. On top of that, this can only be used with a cable service provider that is not using BPI. Most US cable providers (not AT&T) are using BPI anyway.
We have seperate topics for IE, Mozilla, and Netscape. We have a quake topic that's not just under "games". Star wars has it's own topic and it's not just "movies". There is even a seperate topic for benies with only one post by Cowboy Neal. Topics here. Hardware is too general for a topic and could be broken down. 75% of the case mod links are usually/.'ed within the first 20 posts anyway.
Programmers and IT geeks will be the factory workers of the future, Only that factory work requires a BS, a handfull of certs, and years of knowledge and experience. I should have gone to med. school.
Article here, covering MS decision to move windows longhorn GUI onto the graphics subsystem. This will up the min hardware specs and should (did?) create a ruckus on the GPU front. The AMD vs Intel war does not look like it's slowing either. Games in a couple years will probably put all of today's stuff to shame .
DivX is just a codec, most of the media stuff I download is using it. But I do agree that there will be a "second coming" in the tech sector. Some of the reasons are covered by THG on the MS WinHEC conference. MS is going to move longhorn GIU, connect the PC to the TV and a few other in-home multimedia devices. This will bring out a new generation of higher power graphics cards (the 3Dlabs card yesterday possibly first in that series). MS is going to try and make use of UPnP and later IPv6 will add to that. In less then 4 years you might be upgrading the firmware for your microwave, coffee maker, and main kitchen controller over the internet. Let's throw in a big screen TV, DVD writer/recorder, 500 disk DVD changer, and some voice recognition household stuff. Might not happen tomorrow but it's far from over.
Not to mention that longhorn and DX 9 are going to place the GUI on the graphics subsystem instead of the CPU and the GPU is going to begin to take on a larger role wihin the PC itself.
I read an article on anandtech that was reviewing one of the via chipsets and covering the decision to move to ATA-133, they stated it took a quad 7200 RPM RAID 0 aray before they benchmarked over 100 and were actually getting use of the interface. The reality is that most 7200 RPM drives don't have a read throughput much higher then 35. There are few cases where that bandwidth is used and it's usually when (if?) you have multiple disks with large caches and are pulling from cache on all of them. SCSI might be capible of 160 as aposed to 133 but the main bottle neck is still the HDD itself (about 35). For what you save by going with IDE you can add another drive and a hardware RAID controller.
Windows is a GUI system with emulated DOS. Linux is a kernel, shell, X, then a windowing system. There are multiple layers involved where you are free to build on one as you please. Explorer is a larger more integrated part of what is known as windows. I, like BeOS really don't see the problem with MS making explorer part of windows because that's what works for performance. I have my gripes about the way MS does some things but this is not one of them. To me this is kind of like going after the mafia for tax evasion, if it's the only thing that holds water go with it.
avifile handles about 95% of my divX stuff.
I also use Kmail, Knode (news), Galeon (browser), Star Office 1.0, gEdit (GIU text edtr), Kvirc (IRC), Gaim (multiple IM's protocols), and Kcalc.

There is a 9 page thread on MandrakeUser.org covering replacement software for windows. There are not many windows apps that I have not yet replaced.

Leave the trolling the user base that read the HOWTO. Trolling is an art form, you're just making stick figures with finger paint.

Next door to whom exactly?
I was just going to say that.

So what do I do if they take my credit card information and run?

opensrs.net and bulkregister.com are good. I get single domains for $10 a year through an openSRS reseller.
Not just Kazaa but others are availible or linked from CleanClients.tk
My mistake, you are correct.
Well stated indeed.

August is bang on time for nVidia's consistant 6 month mark.

I sense a disturbance in the force.
