I've had to upgrade to the CVS version of xfree to get ATI 9700 drivers. Im sure the ATI 9000 is in the same boat. Xfree 4.3 will need to be released first.

WTF, why is he testing the 9000? They mention the 9700, but went with the 9000 for benchmarks. This is purely absurd.
The 9700 is 4x faster than the 9000, and 2x the 4600 in these fps benchmarks. The 9000 isnt even a replacement for the 8500 out. The 9500 is the replacement, and its not even out yet.
BTW, I run the 9700 dual, playing counterstrike on a 21 inch monitor and a 60inch projection at the same time (mirror mode). The tv output at 1024x768 (svhs) is crystal clear, and is truely amazing.

How many times can the Democrats pull this crap?!
Both sides pull this shit. And I'm afraid this wont change till something make the public make elected officals accountable.

If your following the polls, the margins are in the thousands, one precinct could swing the votes.
Remember, it was only like 650 votes for president bussy in Florida that won him the election, and that jeb dude.
Actually most of the stoners, get busted for pot, loose thier right to vote forever. (most states)
Nothing like haveing millions of people in the USA who cant vote. Hell in my state alone, 24% of the Black population cant vote due to Felony Disenfranchisement Laws. And it wont change with all the Republicans in office.

They know they are going to make you patch your ass off.
But they spend millions on adveritsing, teasing you, making you buy it soon as it comes out. Come to the website, download the music, wallpaper, chat in the forums, win some prizes. Almost like movies, make you wait a year, then its an explosion on the first date of release.
Look at BMX XXX that came out, I didnt even know about it till Walmart said they banned the game from the store. I checked out the trailers and music, the game looks fantastic! They even had a group of hollywood comedians write the content for it.
Side note,
Games are comeing out faster than I can finish them, and I'm not even spending all my time on the online games like everquest (some cs and tribes thou). I had Alice and Heavy Metal Fakk2 collecting dust waiting for me to play, over a year I finally played and finished them. Amazing games that showed that a large amount of effort put into it.

Hey dont knock Barts boot disk. Its rather nice to have a boot floppy(or cdrom) that will boot almost any nic card. Top it off with Ghost i can backup/restore my laptop and workstations over IP. And dealing with partitions not whole HD's make it easier to move OS's around.
Hey, and SSH with barts disk works great, thou you miss multiple ttys.

Exactly, even if you install gcc3.2.x you cant compile the kernel yet with it. I tried just to see if it would work, it didnt. (Yup, the port description warning is correct)
When the base system is gcc3.x based, it should have show an improved speed. On my gentoo linux desktop with AMD optimizations compiled in, you notice the speed increase.
I'll prob snag a copy of 5.0 development later and play with it, I already have to grab the cvs version of Xfree for ATI Radeon 9700 support.
I wasnt happy with 4.6 FreeBSD, but when 4.7 came out, KDE3 compiled. Xfree drivers that worked for my video card. Koffice compiled without problem. Everything worked for KDE/Gnome.
The biggest problem I had with FreeBSD was ports didnt compile, but 4.7 most ports I tried compiled out of the box. Only grip I have is, its still using gcc 2.95, while 3.2 is out. But I hear 5.0 is completely GCC3.3 based.
There is a race of insect robots that where built as toys for a Special android chick. When the creators decided to turn her off, the little robots tried to protect her, killing the entire planet.
And of course the little Grey dudes (Thor and company) are fighting the little robots that took over the entire galaxy.
Nice subplot, why are there hardly any alien vistors? They are off fighting wars.

Someone want to shed the light on this? We have the whistle blower laws to protect people leaking these sources to the Press.
I will admit, the police do force the news papers to hold stories for the "Safety" of the public. The last 2 times while there where protests in Seattle, the police where mostly concerned with looking bad as they arrested peaceful protestors, and maced children.
At least you can sue after they beat you in the USA. (And hopefully get a honest judge)
We only run unix os's with a few NT machines (mostly admin consoles) in our datacenter. The problem with putting a Linux box in production, we have platinum support from Sun. Every server is a sun box, and its standardized for backup, database and clustering. If we put a Linux box, it has to run it on sparc hardware, and we have to have special procedures just for this one box.
Its much easier to run GPL'ed software ported to Solaris, than to switch the OS. We in fact run many GPL'ed software packages, the cost saving is amazing. The backend software is highly specialized, and will not be ported to linux.
To make sure the software is locked in production, the developers put license strings for everything, and then they lock it down to IP/Domain/Hardware/os version/etc..
Sometimes you want the software to be written in house, but with the features, support, updates to software, its easier to write a check and get everything at once. If you want to know who the main players are, Nokia, Nortel, Software.com and Ericsson are the largest players.
Quake3 and its offshoots (mostly) supported smp, good for online servers but for your homebox, the video card is what it needs to pump out the FPS.
I personally went from a dual box to a single cpu (price/ghz), and I miss how smooth windows was on a dual box. Any dialog box, or hardware (floppy/cdrom) or network share can pause your system. Hyperthreading will not increase your speed on games, but it will make your whole (win) OS smoother, which is VERY noticable.
I bought a Enermax and noticed it had the largest cables on a powersupply I've ever seen! After reading Toms review, they really are longer. Looks like 55/50/50 are the average, and some are even smaller 30/30/30'ish. Enermax ATX/ATX 12V/AUX is 68/70/70 cm.
Really nice on a towercase, but a midtower, I have to roll up the power cables. Nice quite powersupply too.

If you run only one thread the multiple CPUs solution will have idle CPUs
You have more than 1 thread now. Your OS and your Application. You will see an improvement with hyperthreading, even on an average home computer.

The Ati 9700 shows up as 2 video cards. (2 PCI cards), not sure but I think the BrookTree is the 3rd, TV out.
