1 = 0.99... (RossGr)

Let x = 0.99999... It can be proved easily that: for all E > 0: 1 - E < x < 1 + E The rest of the proof is by contradiction. Suppose x!=1. (x does not equal 1) From the axioms of an ordered ring and the fact (1/2) exists in R, one can prove: x < (1/2)(1 + x) < 1 Now, if we let E = 1 - (1/2)(1...

Dell TrueMobile mini vs. PCMCIA

The range you achieve with a mini-PCI card depends on the antennas built into the laptop. These are usually larger and positioned more optimally than in PC cards.

What is the best flat CRT monitor out there?

The general consensus is that Mitsusbishi DiamondPro monitors are definitely some of the best around. Sony's F and G series FD Trinitrons are also very good.

That looks like quite a powerful system, at a very good price too! Is that a 64MB Mobility Radeon 7500 on the spec list? Can't be a bad thing I guess ;) Best of luck with your purchase!

Laptop options opinions needed

Hi Bill! Your best compromise would depend mostly on your priorities. 16MB of memory on the graphics card would be sufficient for 2D work, especially if the laptop's screen resolution is XGA (1024*768); but if you venture into any kind of 3D application/game at all, 16MB will be a significant...

Router plus a Switch??

The throughput rate specified would typically be for WAN-LAN/LAN-WAN. All transfers on the LAN side only would be through the switch ASIC in the router, and should be near 100Mbps under optimal conditions (good TCP/IP RWIN settings, etc). If you connect a switch to a LAN port on the router...

RAID 5 capacity trade-off... How much will I lose?

With RAID 5, capacity of the array is the capacity of (n-1) drives, so in a 3 drive array, you would lose the capacity of 1 drive to the distributed parity data. Performance degrades as the number of drive members increases. RAID 5 is ill-suited to typical workstation/home usage, especially...

SiS 655 *2-18-03 UPDATE* MSI, Gigabyte and ASUS Done

Thanks for the ScienceMark results. They are quite interesting, and show that the SIS655 has a much higher memory latency than E7205 (Granite Bay) and i845PE. ~300 cycles is in RDRAM territory! :P For comparison, Granite Bay achieves ~80ns latency at 167MHz FSB. However, what it does show is...

Elvis2, What frequency are you running the RAM at? 1:1 does seem to yield performance at the level of the i845PE in many cases as shown in Evan's benchmark results, but the higher memory ratios offer better performance. I believe the default ratio is to run at 4:5? ie, DDR333.

The TwinMOS uses either TwinMOS 5ns chips or Winbond BH-5 5ns chips. The latter are used by Corsair in their XMS3500 and XMS3200LL. The regular XMS3200 uses 6ns Winbond chips.

SIS not to go 0.13. Was that Nvidias problem?

As quoted earlier to Digitimes, UMC's CEO is now Chairman of SiS. I believe they were never oursourcing production to TSMC in the first place, having their own fab instead. To quote from the digitimes article: [own emphasis added] The Inquirer reports the same here.
