Trixbox suggests 1GB of RAM and a P4-1500 for 20 or so simultaneous users (if I remember correctly). With half the RAM, you get half the users.
Encoding and decoding audio is a task that uses memory and processor speed, and you must have both to be able to do it.
This would be perfect for a low-use Trixbox server (a few simultaneous connections), but this would be it.
I'm sure it plays mp3s - in the end, I've seen a console mp3 player running on a K5 at 100MHz (and before that, on an 100MHz 486-class processor).
Having a VIA processor, I assume it has VIA chipset with integrated video. If I remember correctly, the DVD playing is hardware assisted (but the processor would be fast enough to play DVDs software only).
Is the software installed? Maybe yes, maybe not - after all, a stand-alone DVD-player is very cheap
The 1GHz P3 (Coppermine with 256KB cache, not Tualatin with 512) would mostly equal a P4 at 1.3-1.4 GHz. The very first P4 processors were inferior to the latest and greatest P3 in general performance
FAT32 and NTFS partitions are automagically mounted in Windows 2000 and XP if the hard drive was recognized. Windows 2003 requests you to go to Disk Management and "activate" the disk.
I know I have my autorun.inf disabled on the CD-ROM (did this long time ago). However, I think it might remain enabled on new drives, so one of those hard drives (which you can't fdisk/format in Windows unless the operating system is already running) would bite me.
Matrox was a bit of a speciality builder of video cards. When taking into account an G400Max, you should compare it with today's professional graphic cards (the cheaper models, yes, but professional - FireGL from ATI or Quadro from NVidia).
Memory manufacturers know this - oversupply (due to desire to increase market share, overestimation of demand and so on) leads to decreased prices. It happened before, it will happen again.
Anyway, as the market sends more money in laptops than in desktops, increased production lessen the R&D costs per unit sold, and economies of scale allow lower prices also. High competition forces cost cutting measures (if I have a huge profit, I don't need to cut costs)
Congratulations, sir
By all those "body mass index" you are grossly overweight. However, I am a normal weight person (maybe little on the skinny side) - and I could walk 5 miles in the forest carrying some gear. I am somewhat fit, but I'm not sure I could lift more than my body mass.
You probably have a "body fat index" lower than most people with your height/mass, and a "body muscle index" higher than most.
Remember, at (5'11") height and weight, 245-pound Dorian Yates (Mister Olympia of 1991) have a BMI of almost 35, quite a bit into the obese crowd
Being now at 1920 by 1080 pixels of resolution, and supposedly 60Hz refresh rate. Do we need anything more for consoles? When (if ever) will the next revolution in resolution come? I think not in the next 20 years, or maybe 30 years. After all, enough is enough
Talking about the Gigabyte board from the review: its DVI adaptor carries ONLY digital signals - you can't use an DVI to VGA adaptor to "power" an analog monitor thru the DVI connection.
Anyway, you still have the VGA output on board
Not so long ago you could have a Windows XP license at a quarter of its retail price when buying a new computer - or a new internal component. Windows XP at a quarter of its retail price, when buying a $3 network card
Very well. One of the computers from here have 11111100000000000000000000000 bytes of RAM. My computer here have a hard drive capacity of 10011000100101101000000000 bytes.
Next time when I buy a kilogram of sugar, I will insist to be made from 1024 grams. I will request auto manufacturers to give the fuel efficiency in liters per 100 (1024 meters). Why wouldn't nuclear weapon yield be measured in equivalent of (1024 tons) of TNT?
Seagate don't deserve this. Hell, nobody doesn't deserve this (even if now when we reach 1TB, the difference between 10^12 and 2^40 is just a smidge under 10%
The cost of the supercomputers is so high, that sometimes several man-month of tailoring the software to run as efficient as possible on the hardware could be recovered during a couple of days of processing.
For the kind of computation the supercomputer market requests, a 5% improvement in running speed on a supercomputer can worth millions
Support contract for already installed Point Of Sale devices. This is the only SCO operation I know of, that was workable.
They could compete against Microsoft based on price in this sector.
There might be other places with installed SCO base - and there is money to be had from there, either from continuing support or from help with migration to another platform
Getting 75% of the cost back now is better than selling it (maybe) next year with some games even later.
If the production line can not be kept under a certain production level, every PS3 that is not sold is a sunken cost. Selling it at loss (compared to its cost) is better than letting it rot in a warehouse
He compared it with his other phone supposedly, an Nokia E61i, and he feels the iPhone faster.
Not much base for a scientific comparison, but I would tend to accept its conclusion (pending my own testing of the devices:D). As for high bandwidth, sequential transfers... I don't know, but you seem to have at least as good an opinion on those as the article writer has on that web speed.
The author owns Apple stock - so not only an iPhone lover.
But what he says sounds true (not sure about his Nokia phone being slowed down by too fast a transmission speed)
It wasn't more effective than stone - but it was much cheaper.
Stone had some great advantages: it broke into fragments in case of impact (making it worse for breaking walls, but much better against ships and infantry on hard ground), it didn't rust (an iron ball in sea conditions would rust, and increase its diameter).
Cutting spheres from stone became much more expensive than making them from molten iron when iron was plentiful.

A go board is 19 by 19. Each spot could be free, taken by white or by black. As such, you end up with some 3^361 positions (you reduce it by symetry by an order of magnitude, and you cut down plenty of invalid positions (invalid in gameplay).
Some 10^170 positions (counting invalid positions too) - which is in the ballpark of 2^1600
However, to get most of the speed out of wind is not trivial, and some courses are better than others (especially for boats than will probably use Bermuda rig, with no spinnaker).
The turbine in water would rob the sailboat of wind power.I don't know how much power you could get from the sails, but if you add the losses for the small generator, I think you'd be better with more/heavier batteries. Remember, from the boats that finish the track, the fastest is the winner
