he was talking about a 1.7 ghz P4 on sdram. It will suck compared to a 1.2 ghz athlon on ddr. And nforce gives the athlon dual channel ddr-intel doesn't have anything like that
The rambus strategy was pretty dumb but going with sdram instead of ddr is even dumber. What intel should do is dual channel ddr like the nforce but it will be a major accomplishment just to see regular ddr for the P4. That's how pathetic this situation is. Now this sounds like pure intel bashing but I'm being honest. I have great respect for Intel technologies over the past decade or so and still do (xscale and that new intel camera we just bought) but they really screwed up since the Pentium 3 and still continue to make mistakes.
yeah but you'll never stick a 10 gig harddrive and a cable modem on it. And even if you could, the batteries wouldn't last longer than a few minutes. There's more involved than just cpu, memory and a better OS.
yeah but PalmOS 5.0 will have official OS support for it. It's much easier for developers to program for OS 5 than for Sony and Handera's specific implementations
Palm developers knew about their plans since Palmsource 2000 last October. Old apps will run on the new Palms so the only problem is that new apps may not work on the old ones. Such is progress...
No, Palm won't have that problem. First of all they are sticking with ARM for their next gen CPU instead of the free for all that exists in WinCE (i.o.w no SH or MIPS to deal with). PalmOS 5 will have an emulator to take care of legacy apps but it will use native calls so it will be faster than a traditional emulator. Also, PalmOS 4 is the bridging OS: apps written to the API's won't have a problem under 5.0.
it would be nice if Be Inc supported it too. Too bad linux is still stuck with single threaded X. And I don't think musicians will be happy with the idea that they need to install a patch in order to get low latencies. It should be default so that developers can just assume everyone will have it.
watch this IPO go down like the cleavage of a French maid. Looks like they missed the dot com bust-nobody is interested in companies that try to make money selling stuff anyone can get for free.

Can someone explain to me why linux ppc-64 support is insane? There's a lot of cool stuff in this patch and I don't see how this is any different than dev releases. I really would like to see some of this stuff in linux one day.

anyone who believes Social Security SHOULD be a federal program instead of owned by individuals has to be the real idiot
umm the atheistic communist systems of the Soviet Union and China are clearly the most oppressive institutions.

Compaq announces the Dragonball PocketPC
you mean like Wordsmith or Tiny Sheet? :)
take a look at what's planned for PalmOS 5.0 here: http://www.seapug.com/articles/palmsource2000.html
I wouldn't be surprised to see a WINE for PalmOS 5 which lets you run PocketPC apps on your ARM Palm. Not that Palm is in any need of them hehe
No they won't use Thumb.

almost all of the QNX is just ported from linux so why not just use the real thing instead?

We're talking about up to 2.4 gigabits per second. 155 mbit is just the _minimum_
even better! those pop ads will spy on you!
ahahaha don't you know anything about baseball? The pitcher has to be able to _field_ the ball -not just throw the ball to the batter.
There are rumors that HP Jornada will switch to PalmOS
