    There is still some software that may only work under 98 or 2000 and some times it may be a custom app that does not work well with newer os. There are also cnc systems that are still running 98 and they have custom cards in them for the cnc systems.

    AMD quad-core chip will have shared L3
    also lack of quality of the interconnect for intel means that you will like not see a duel cpu system with out a non intel chip set. And the nforce pro chip sets have sli with 2 full x16 slots and left over lanes for x4 slots while most intel ones don't even have 1 x16 slot at full speed.
    some have do have x16 and a x4

  11. amd has better chip sets on What Went Wrong for AMD's AM2? · · Score: 1

    The intel quad-core are just 2 duel core linked by a fsb just like what they did when there duel cores first came out.

    Intel chips sets are still behind Nvidia and Ati. The best that Intel has is x8 x8 or x1 x16 while Nvidia has x16 x16 one 590 board even has x16 x8 x16 and most 590 boards have with duel gig-e with ip/tpc offload. These are for amd 590 as the Intel ones are not out yet.

    This also shows up in the workstation / severs chips sets as well. Aka the power Mac g5 has more pci-e lanes then the Mac pro and it has less bandwidth in the chip set to chip set link.
