  1. Re:64bit vs 32bit on Intel Demos New P4 'Extreme Edition' · · Score: 1

    What about the Alphas that hit 800MHz until I stopped following them? All I remember was the 700MHz models were about as fast as a 233MHz Pentium II when running 32-bit apps, and they could only run Windows NT 4 (this was back when it was Windows or bust).

  2. Re:Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleas on Intel Demos New P4 'Extreme Edition' · · Score: 1

    You know, Intel MIGHT just do that - the CPU's cost $700 for 1000 units, and it shouldn't cost too much to throw in a cheap board - whereas AMD x86-64 ain't cheap (keep in mind, the P4X is a P4 with more cache - the P4 is rather common). Put it on a cheapo board, and it doesn't cost that much more.

    BTW, have you tried overclocking? My 466 Celeron runs fine at 507MHz. Also, your mobo SHOULD take at least an 800MHz CPU (if the maxfsb is 66).

    Figure 1 shows the board completely on top of the other components in the tower config - which means it's in the same place as good ol' ATX.

    VIA's already forked to ITX. It's somewhat ATX compatible, and it's biggest competition is MiniFlex-ATX. I can't get the PDF, so I don't know how big BTX is.

    Actually, that's not the original schedule. They originally said late 2004-early 2005, then 2005, and now 2006 (if gp is right).

    When they get to ITX VIA'll have something to say unless it's ITX or Mini-ITX compliant.

    Yes, if you optimize for Windows (the Winlusers of the time didn't use old apps - therefore, they didn't need mono ram), you'd get that. I think it's a HIMEM setting.
