  1. Re:Intel's sever / workstation chip sets suck on AMD Quad-Core Opteron (Barcelona) Tech Report · · Score: 1

    The Nvidia's chipsets for Intel's CPUs are only for the desktop cpus not for the workstation / sever ones.

    Intel V8 for gaming is a joke FB-DIMMS no cross fire or sli.

    If amd where to go MCM there better cpu to cpu and cpu to chip link the hypertransport bus will make things a lot better they the way intel does it.

    Intel needs more then just true quad core. They also need memory controllers build in the cpus and a cpu to cpu link that does need to use the NB to talk the other cpu and also have so you can have more then one NB like chip like you can on a amd system. With a 2 way amd system you can have 2 chip set links and up to 2 HTX slots.

  4. Intel's sever / workstation chip sets suck on AMD Quad-Core Opteron (Barcelona) Tech Report · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Intel's sever / workstation chip sets suck next to the ones for Opterons / AMD FX cpus.

    FB-DIMMS cost a lot and need alot more power to run then DDR ECC ram and the Intel chipsets have very few pci-e lanes. The nforce pro chipsets have the lanes for 2 full x16 slots with 2 x4 slots and pci-e lanes for on board sata / sas raid with x4 lanes left over that are some times used for pci-x slots.

    Also the amd chips have better cpu to cpu link.

    Unsigned code and antitrust lawsuits do have connection if you have to pay to get singed code and only m$ can say what gets signed. M$ is doing this right now some types of drivers for vista.

    Some of the major programs vender's may come out and say you want a singed code BUY the new vision.
    Also this code signing may force a major rewrite to want ever ms wants like singed code must be .Net or some thing like that.
    also code signing is bad of open and free software even more so if MS wants you to pay for it like they do with some of the vista drivers.
    Sandboxing may end braking a lot of old apps and code making people that need to use is house apps and older apps less like to move to a new ver of windows cuting out the old UI will do the same thing as well.

  10. Re:Didn't we just leave this party? on Next Version of Windows? Call it '7' · · Score: 1

    M$ has said they are working a kind of VM like set that will sandbox all unsigned code for the next mayor release of windows as well as fully redone UI.

    First of all if they are this alot of people will dump windows for mac or linux at that point and / or there may be a lot of anti Trust lawsuits.

    also fully redoing the UT / forcing unsigned code to be locked down will brake so many apps that Up take of this will be a lot slower then Vista slow up take.

  11. Re:32bit? on Next Version of Windows? Call it '7' · · Score: 1

    there are lot of 32bit drivers out there that don't work right in windows 64 as well as some apps unlike LINUX and MAC OS X where 32 and 64 bit apps can work just fine side by side.

    Also calling it windows 7 is real bad name as it make it look like the windows 98 and 2000 are newer.

    Not when cost are still much higher and space is limited. The heat and smaller space in a laptop keeps high video cards, and fast hard disks out of them also when $1000+ $1500 even some $2000 ones have on board video that too is a trun off as well even more so with windows vista and laptop ram costs much more then desktop ram and most systems only have 2 slots.
