It's amazing how bad "educated" people can be with grammer and punctuation. The apostrophe and comma are probably the two most misused punctuation elements - but seriously, if you're going to post on slashdot and have anyone take you seriously you need to learn to use them properly.
CPU is an acronym for Central Processing Unit. When you pluralize that phrase, you add an S to the end of unit. What you wrote is "Central Processing Unit's"... and those CPUs sure aren't owning anything in what you said.
These new X-core chips could use less power than their predecessors. Everything is so fast these days, that's almost a larger concern than the speed or cache count. "How hot does it get and how much power does it consume?" is the real measure of success here.
You could try EsounD. It's standard on Linux Gnome desktops, and I believe there's windows stuff out there for it. I know there's a WinAmp plugin for it.
VideoLan Client (bad naming, but it can both receive network streams and originate them)

They even have precompiled clients for most popular OSes and distributions.
This was definitely an issue in testing here. The wide range of "winning" filesystems for the different tests clearly indicates the bottleneck is somewhere other than the disk. In most modern systems, this isn't an issue.
From TFA: ReiserFS takes a VERY long time to mount the filesystem. I included this test because I found it actually takes minutes to hours mounting a ReiserFS filesystem on a large RAID volume.
Looks like this guy makes a habit out of using systems with 500MHz CPUs... my dual 3GHz xeon box mounts a 1.2TB raid5 array formatted with ReiserFS in about 33 seconds, give or take a couple seconds.

Anyone else notice the ripped off Google Maps image on the 'Contact Us' page without credit?
A company that doesn't give credit where credit is due doesn't deserve money.
