60MHz machines, now you can overclock a pentium to 6Ghz, so we are talking about 100x speedup
only to the uninformed who think that
A. Mhz = speed
B. Cannot tell the difference between different marketing names (not all "pentiums" are the same or from the same family
Try again. Mhz is not a linear speed progression metric. I can run 10Ghz over a copper wire, WHOA that is fast.
dood, if I had a bunch of "natalie portman" underpants covered in dried grits, do you KNOW how much money I would make on slashdot selling those puppies?
Gun control plainly does not work. Criminals still have them. Most gun crimes are not comitted by people who would have obtained guns legally anyhow. I have no problem with minor inconveniences like a backround and mental health check, but making people wait 60+ days (yes, the law says 30, they don't care, cuz they are unmotivated bastards in gov't jobs) for a gun is ludicrous. You cannot stop people from doing bad things by passing laws. All you do is make those who would do them legally more put out. You stop a tiny portion of the illegal activity, criminalize a greater portion of formerly law abiding citizenry and waste massive resources to do so.
If the bugger can live on its own, let him. Just because removing it is the end of it, does not mean you have to sustain it by keeping it there. By that very token, if someone is fired and you take their job, you have taken food off their table, right? Wrong.
diesels are usually good on a mileage per gallon rating. That fiat is more like a mustang. It has 8cyl and loves the gas pump, but it is still no match for a specialized hotrod. I would also compare the AMD64 stuff to a large turbo superduty pickup. It may not have a spoiler, but it can haul ass and take names.
The Pentium 3 is based on the Pentium Pro. It would be arguable that the Pentium M more closely resembles the changes made to the P6 core (which the P Pro, P2, 2nd gen celeron, and P3 were based on) from the latest generation rather than a decade old design
Crack pipe much? They do not innovate? O...K there buddy. How about Hypertransport instead of an aging front side bus that intel uses (DEC is dead, many engineers from them are working with AMD, and Hypertransport is not a DEC technology, there is an HPT consortium from way back when it was called Lightning Data Transport LDT)? How about directly connected CPUs vs intel's that need to communicate over the FSB? How about SOI before intel? How about on die memory controllers? They have been around on other CPUs before, but again, DEC is DEAD and this is a totally different arena.
If 64bit extensions to the most popular instruction set in use right now doesn't excite you, perhaps you should rethink your geek status
EM64T is based on AMD64, EPIC is based on Itanium. Why do people still get this wrong? EPIC is not a backwards compatible instruction set.
The difference is, intel's memory addressing on EM64T is weak by comparison (which has nothing to do with on die memory controllers)
The point is not whether or not their competitor has to make things easy, the point (which was obviously lost on you; look into retaking school grades 4 onward) but rather the point that their competitor, made things difficult for the sake of being difficult.
There are lots of compilers, however the point is simply such that intel is known as a leader in the compiler area of x86 CPUs. Their product is a standard for highly optimized software creation. For them to break the trust of their customers on the software side, simply to make their mediocre products look better next to superior competition is dishonest and dirty.
Oscar Meyer has 83% of the luncheon meat industry (just as an example, I have no idea and do not care). In order to produce more demand for their product, they have a bread division. Hilshire Farms has a far tastier roast turkey breast, but cannot afford a bread division. Oscar Meyer in turn decides to make their bread recipe so that when it is paired with Hilshire farms turkey, it tastes like puke warmed over. It couldn't just be bread tasting, it combines with the sugars in the glaze on the turkey and gives off foul odors and bad tastes to make people think that Hilshire Farms food sucks.
dipshit, What part of I can only suggest did you not comprehend before you took time to waste the bandwidth of others with your worthless post?
I can tell someone to switch to Opera or Firefox, but I cannot MAKE them do it. I can tell someone to install Knoppix or Mandrake or Fedora, but I cannot watch them to make sure they don't undo that and reinstall windows. I help them do what THEY want to do. They pay me for that, but I do a lot of freebies too.
Before you go making me part of the problem, try thinking a little bit. Why don't you go blame a doctor for transfering a liver out of someone into a drinker who caused his own problems? Can the doctor shoot the guy if he drinks again?
Actually, that would not be an option. There are some things you did not take into account:
First, I work in IT and have a side business that caters to small Mom&Pops and home users.
At my job, I cannot dictate policy, only suggest. I got our first linux server in place. We use Windows and Unix and I can use both. I use WinXP and Mandrake at home, not liking Fedora.
In my side business, I can only suggest. I am not about to wipe a user's machine because its crawling with spyware. I run the programs I mentioned and I get my money. I get to go home feeling like I helped them and got paid. I also suggest a few things like using Firefox instead of IE, Thunderbird instead of Outlook or OE and make sure they know that they should have a firewall and an antivirus; and No, the Mcafee 4.0 CD they installed from their Compaq circa 1997 is NOT good enough.
My home PC is clean as a whistle, and I don't just say that as some arrogant people on Slashdot do by starting with "I never use an antivirus or anything, but I have nothing because I don't open email except in plain text"
That is crap. Viruses and Spyware do NOT need to come in through email.
Before espousing the solution, perhaps you should have asked the problem.
They will look ineffective as they recently made a similar deal (because of litigation) with a few other spyware "vendors"
I have taken to using Adaware, Spybot, Spywareblaster, Hijackthis etc to keep a computer free of spyware and crap.
I only watched it because it had metallica songs in it, but when I did, I was appalled. The second one was even more shocking. They ruined the lives of some young people because they were different. They took one horror and made 3 more as a result.
I call bullshit. There is no way the model is the same because no company in their right mind (even HP) would use the same model number to have different chipsets to support.
the Athlon and celeron never shared a CPU socket nor chipset, so please explain your BS story
P.S. I use AMD almost exclusively, but yes the centrino/Pentium M chips are cool and pretty nice. I would like to see more AMD Turions in notebooks, though for more competition and to drive prices down.
Celerons have and always had a math coprocessor. The original Celerons, however, did not have cache.
It did help them in overclocking as they were not held back by slower cache, making them a hit with overclockers.
most of which are made up BS that does not exist. Teflon coatings do not pierce vests. You need solid hard cast bullets like steel and copper. Then again, vests don't hold up to repeated hits from jacketed rounds.
Go buy a vest, hit it in the same general spot with a 9mm 115gr +P through a whole magazine. You will punch the vest.
Now... Hit it with a.222 varmint rifle
Like butter..308 or 30/06 will punch it harder

I do believe you mean 256 colors. As well, has nobody ever seen the "Quick Format" option on a windows install?
There will still be OTA Digital broadcasts for those w/o cable or sat. This is just eliminating the analog portion of the spectrum used for TV.

Is that competitive or just plain wrong?

Your liver produces plenty for you. Now go read some books on biology. How do you think the cows got cholesterol in their tasty burger-esque flesh?

Offtopic, but glad to see another WM3 supporter. Looks like the father of one of those kids will have a room in hell set aside.

by the way, the 300A was one with 128K of L2, the originals did not have ANY enabled L2 cache.
yes yes, I meant L2. this is what happens when you are at work and have limited time to slashdot
Celerons have and always had a math coprocessor. The original Celerons, however, did not have cache.
It did help them in overclocking as they were not held back by slower cache, making them a hit with overclockers.
