It's been a long time since sempron was a byproduct of Athlon XP
Just at the time Athlon XP was being axed
the entire XP line was renamed and rebadged to Sempron.
they were identical
However new 32bit Semprons are based on the Athlon 64
they are slower and have less cache however the slowest k8 Sempron is faster than most Athlon XP predecessors
Hell now all Semprons are AMD64 (x64 x86_64) compatible
When you use an onboard Device
Network
Video
Sound
they use they use the PCI bus to contact the CPU (to do work) and RAM for buffering
It takes time to go back and forth between ram CPU and PCI bus.
Hypothetically such a card Windows sends a packet to the card directly saving 2 or more trips slashing milliseconds off the total time taken to send the packet
The ABC is government funded
ABC isnt free the federal government pumps millions of dollars of tax payers money into it annually.
PBS is a community station in the same manner the difference however is PBS isnt fully government funded
2. Like it or not, Youtube is often used in workplace camaraderie. Many corporate firewalls whitelist business appropriate ports rather than blacklisting P2P clients. Youtube uses regular HTTP, so it works. Azureus uses the Bittorrent protocol which requires more esoteric ports. not on my network mate.
Azureus will maintain the initial seed of a file obviously, however every time there is more than one leecher it will reduce the bandwidth required by Azureus official seed
you know of a terrifying historical event regarding IP

On the general Desktop Scene however things change If people want the benefit of a GPU that has direct access to CPU and ram yet need the oportunity Torrenza is the solution. Any type of processor can be placed in an AMD Opteron socket including NVIDIA or ATI Graphics chips and have high speed low latency HyperTransport links to the CPU & memory. The would offer higher communication bandwidth for Crossfire or SLI than PCIe x16 can ever offer.
This could potentially make the PCIe or standard peripheral slot obsolete.
With the GPU on the same physical Ceramic chip less power voltage is required to communicate,
think of it as "How loud would you need to talk for someone 10 metres away to hear you?" "How loud would you need to be if they were standing next to you?"
Being on the chipset will probably be favoured for a while
but Fusion would lower the cost of manufacturing a mainboard
will meet along with AMDs massive push for low power desktop PCs
Fusion could also suit casual gamers since The Processor and Graphics cards tend to be out of date simultaneously in some cases. ala Doom3 Battlefield 2
Yes! Yes you are the only one The purpose of the Fusion program is not to target users that want to use high end graphics ala stand alone GTX/XT Nvidia/ATI PCI-e graphics cards. It is to replace the requirement of a seperate chipe for onboard graphic card users.
This includes: Notebooks Enterprise Desktop computers Workstations Servers and potentially ultra small devices.
Personally i started with an onboard ATI Xpress200 Graphics card it was as fast as my previous 9600XT. I later upgraded to a higher end Graphics card.
there is no doubt a GPU with direct access to the CPU and potetnially system ram will be faster and more efficient than current onboard solutions available Hell in a perfect senario it may bridge the compatability gap between windows Gaming PC's and Consoles. A PS2/XBOX game works on all PS2s/XBOXs All PC games react different to every completely different PC.
That is all dependent on software in four years from now
If drivers and software learn to use the GPU to off load tasks
like ATI and Nvidia are touting now.
AKA game physics the integrated GPU will offer a great boost in processing usually handled in the CPU.
along side the Stand Alone Graphics.

Windows XP and Linux

However whe couldnt keep linux since my sister wanted to use MSN messenger with voice video
You can have one hell of a CPU and memory, planted on a motherboard that would serve better as toilet paper. Anyway thats enough out of me, for now.
Thats what dogged AMD for years and probably a major reason for ondie Memeory controller
The AMD boards from Super Socket 7, through to Athlon XP had really great and truly terrible north bridge chipsets giving the general market vision of poor or flakey performance.
The market for an Athlon board is fairly easy compared components
However the decrepencies in memory performance of the reviewed Core2 boards is amazing.
I still think AMD bought into ATI purely to make a rocksolid server and mobile platform
They don't want to squeeze or directly compete with NVIDIA, they are aiming at competing with Intels trusted platforms.
google returned hundreds of Opteron/NVIDIA based systems due to instability. http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q3/core2-chipset s/index.x?pg=4
am i the only one who finds the comparison between
OSX versus windows XP version releases cycle pathetic
Jobs was quick to tout the progress Apple has made with its OS since 2001, when both Windows XP and the first version of OS X shipped. "What have we been doing for the last five years?" he asked. "We've been putting out releases of OS X." He claimed that Apple shipped five "major" updates to OS X, including Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger, though I'd argue that virtually none of those were major updates at all.
(Unless you count the cost. At $129 for each version, that's about $750 on Mac OS X upgrades since 2001. That kind of puts the cost of Windows in perspective.)
But he counted Tiger on Intel as a sixth major release, because of the effort in porting the OS X code to a new platform (which, actually, had been in the works for a long time and wasn't the 210 day project Jobs claimed).
By that measure, Microsoft has improved Windows by a far greater degree.
In the same time frame, it has shipped Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional Edition, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (and 2005 UR2), Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, Windows XP Home and Professional N Editions, Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2, absolutely a big Windows upgrade), Windows XP Embedded, Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, and Windows XP Starter Edition in various languages. Heck, I might be missing some versions. No, they're not all major releases (The N Editions? Eh.) But XP x64, like Tiger on Intel, was a major engineering effort. And Apple has nothing--absolutely nothing--like the Media Center and Tablet PC functionality that Microsoft has been refining now for several years. So let's put the silliness about Microsoft doing nothing for five years to rest, shall we?
I personally dont feel XP has improved as much as OSX.
I used OSX first release afew years ago its currently completely different.
On the other hand Windows XP features are static since its release, it doesnt esentially do or offer anything previous versions didnt.
I still fail to believe SP2 was a major over haul it was bugfix roll up and smarter default system configuration policy.
If it came with a new DirectX or Desktop search was integrated it would have been different.
Firstly Home and Pro were released together and is essentially one XP Product Pro (Home being a cut down version).
SP2 came along XP home was rebranded Embeded and starter editions.
Adding a New Windows Media Player Version doesnt justify calling Windows XP PRo aka Media Centre a major upgrade
Windows X64 took a year so why is Apples 210 day timeline to port to a completely different architecture so unbelievable.
P.S i'm not as bias i use linux at home and maintain 200 Windows PC's at work inc XP home , Pro , SP2, and Windows 2000.
And MAC OSX is rediculously expensive but thats the price of the feature upgrades of versions.
Yes, because spending money on AIDS research would be just pointless.
Thats actually debatable,
Improved education for these children may take 5 years,
but, being more smart people, they may learn to cure aids quicker
than if we used it now
You dont even know the definition of revolutionary
Sorry dude you sound like a bogan
All the windows features arent revolutionary as you suggest.
For the interest of this i will not mention MAC or Linux at all here as this is about XP compared to Vista
Most are either found in windows XP already of MS has ported to XP (aero for example)
This may surprise you but 64bit support isnt totally new to microsoft.
XP X64 does exist even some copies of Windows for Itanic still exist.
But Vista will still be around for Pentium 4 and Centrino (32bit versions)
Windows 95 didnt work on 8bit processors any more fully 16bit
486 or above
Direct X 10 isnt revoltionary but evolutionary upgrade t the series
Unless you count the new start menu, the "sleep" mode (suspend to hibernate), the 3d-based Aero Glass, the "everybody's a user" security model, the sidebar, the new XPS print system, the bundle of included apps, the new WiFi networking model that can remember which security settings for which network, the new "Performance Statistcits" page on the computer management, and few hundred changes I haven't noticed yet. (Oh, and there's 64-bit support, to boot.)
The wifi Model should have been there in the first place
if they bother it can easily be implemented in XP, using a simple database
Every thing else you mentioned a cosmetic front ends to existing features. are you seriously telling me "Performance Statistcits" page is an advancement?
Vista is easily the biggest change in Windows since the 3.11 / Win95 upgrade. To say that it's "just more CPU and RAM usage" is just FUD. (In fact, if you trim down Vista to match a trimmed down XP, I think Vista actually runs faster.)
Your argueing the tremedous features this is irrelevant since you disabled all these apparent advancements
Did you even ever use Windows 3.11 or even windows 95 for that matter?
Windows 3.1 to 95 was massive averhaul of the filesystem kernel driver subsystems
and target audience USB Support Direct X rendering , powerful WDM driver support offering extended multimedia potential (tv card, hardware 3d acceleration)
The changes i see in vista are like 95 - 98 heavy interface feature improvement additions, speed and compatibiliyy improvements
WinFS was to be the only revolutionary feature of Windows but its gone
It was supposed to obsolete Indexing services such as Beagle Linux and Spotlight in MacOSX and Indexing (Windows 2k XP)
Oh, and while you can probably say that most, if not all, of the new features are taken from OSX or Linux or what-have-you -- just because somebody else had it first doesn't mean that it's not an improvement.
So what they are competitors they implement what they feel the need.
PS i'm furious at microsoft i wanted to see a Windows XPSE(consumer friendly Windows 2003 qualifies)
instead of the excessively overly late upgrade, i install Windows XP at least twice a week at work and security wise it is terrible, i need an upgrade now, to base our Network upgrade cycle.
We were promissed the world and we are going to end up with Windows XPSE anyway.
No Vista isnot comparable to WinME it had nothing at all to seperate itself from 98SE
Can you make revenue by posting other's copyrighted work? Most of the videos I see on youtube or google video are ripped. No I did not read the article. Yet.
Since it clearly states the split the revenue with the Video owner they will fetch permission
from the video ownerwhether it be ABC NBC or your home video.
If you grant permission they will stick an ad in your video and you get a profit,
else it gets no ad and you get no revenue.
The person who uploaded a Copyright protected video and claims revenue will easily be prosecuted since the money trail leads to them
and Google would have a non liability disclosure on their policy.

Thats probably why linux works much better on battery life than windows
I only have 256MB Ram
and on batteries
Each day i have a long trip to work
consists of get on train sit and type reports on my laptop.
chuck it back in the bag
use it on the train going home
comes between 2 & 2 1/2 hours each day
under Ubuntu 6.06 i can to and from work on the train and still sit down at home with it.
Windows XP clearly doesnt like 256MB and battery dies halfway through my train trip home
now i only use linux on my laptop.
I'll just give a run down

Telstra and Optus Australia's two major Telcos also have major dependance of their Cable TV Empire, so purpose limit the quality of Internet available
Clear statement as low Maximum DSL speeds of 1500kb was implemented to minimise competition to their FoxTel TV
10GB 8mbit cable approx $40US a month.
10GB 1.5mbit Adsl approx $30US a month
billions of dollars were spent rolling out not 1 but 2 competeing cables across Australia forming a duopoly of PAYTV versus the Internet
It took years of legal battles by smaller ISP to roll out faster technology, ADSL2+ 24mbit
but based on the money Optus and Telstra spent on their cable networks they arent gonin upgrade in a hurry.
