    AMD lawsuit doesnt seem to be hurting the stock.

    No, it's more of a "Microsoft, since your home country already found you guilty as hell of all this stuff and barely even slapped your wrist, we have to see that you're at least held accountable on OUR side of the pond. Now bend over." Don't make the mistake of thinking that Microsoft or...

    AMD Anti-Trust Lawsuit: Chipzilla Strikes Back !!!

    Hmph. First time I've seen this Dothan guy, but I must already express my contempt for him. Dothan, little fanboi, you should realize that the Intel reaction you propose would likely only serve to get Intel in even more hot water. Not much chance of Intel winning a preliminary injunction, and...

    Xbit Labs found a major fault in the Netburst architecture?

    "Major fault?" Hardly. It doesn't cause any errors or failures, unless the performance hit causes a real-time task to miss a deadline. And if you've got a real-time deadline to worry about, you probably shouldn't be using x86 anyways. I'd consider this a performance quirk. Intel...

    Worst Anandtech review evar

    That about sums up my thoughts: "WTF?" Comparing Intel's hen's-teeth best to a 3500+? What about an FX-53 or 3800+? You can't reasonably blame it on testing constraints either--AnandTech ought to have plenty of top-of-the-line Opteron/Athlon64 kit in-house. It's not like they haven't...

    Tejas / Pentium 5 to be canceled today!

    Actually, I think it's Intel's U turn on the whole "NetBurst is teh WIN!!!11" campaign. ;)

    since intel and amd cross license from each other, why dont amd have hyperthreading?

    There's some debate about exactly how helpful hyperthreading would be for AMD. With only a single thread running, a lot of components in the P4 just sit and spin their wheels. Running multiple threads via HyperThreading puts those components to good use without severely penalizing other...

    Intel 64 or AMD 64 POLL & comments...

    Oh, and by the way... No, not really (not to anyone's knowledge, anyways, and not in any rumors I've heard). IBM and AMD are reportedly cooperating on "process technology," nothing more. K9? Maybe, but I haven't heard anything of that. It's years off anyways, and IBM knows better than...

    Intel 64 or AMD 64 POLL & comments...

    "You're off the edge of the map, mate. Here there be monsters!"* FYI, it's called "thermal DESIGN power" because it's the heat level that each company recommends system builders plan for. I even remember reading a TDP footnote in some of Intel's P4 datasheets years ago that clarified this...

    Arrg, network cable too short, what to do?

    I personally just keep a spool of stranded Cat5e around and punch the proper length when I need it. Cheaper that way, if you're into punching cable anyways (for premise wiring jobs and the like). I bet you could find a friend who knew how to do it for you... Also, you should consider RJ45...

    P4 EE being referred to as the "Emergency Edition"

    Except that the P4C wasn't all that unexpected. It was in the works for months and had been out for months more, and its performance was quite well known. And since the Athlon64 fares quite well against it, I don't see why AMD would feel the need to frantically pull out the AthlonFX in...

    P4 EE being referred to as the "Emergency Edition"

    Why would the AthlonFX be the frantic response? Athlon64 3200+ takes the P4Cs just fine, has a long socket lifetime, runs on inexpensive mainstream memory, was pre-announced for ages, and is apparently in good supply. I'd categorize Athlon64 as a measured response, and AthlonFX as a preemptive...

    Curious: 8 proccessors?

    Well, there are quad Xeon motherboards. SuperMicro and Tyan specialize in that. They're quite large though--most won't fit in just any ATX case. Often you end up needing something like a SuperMicro SC850. Traditionally for the really large x86 boxen (4-8 way with >16GB DIMM capacity), the...

    Custom ATX I/O shields?

    Well...the motherboard I'm working with is mostly ATX compliant, but it has a pretty odd cutout for the ATX I/O panel. So I'm looking to find a cutout, and it looks like I'll need a custom cutout job done. Why didn't the mobo come with an ATX I/O shield? Well, it did--it also came with a case...

    FTP server on ATT broadband

    I doubt they'd fine you. If they were out to do that, a whole lot of people would get fined, because a whole lot of AT&T users install a warez'd copy of Win2K AS or the like (just to feel "l33t") and stupidly leave IIS checked (and subsequently get their boxen jacked by CodeRed/Nimda). I've...

    Opteron (hammer) SPEC 2000 benchmarks.

    Funny, the Opteron sample appears to defeat Itanium2 (and everything else) in SPEC integer performance by a hefty margin. FP performance isn't as good, but Opteron makes a pretty decent showing overall. Plus, unless Intel has actually gotten away from their shared SMP bus architecture...

    How does business telephone systems tie into voicemail systems and in-house softwares??

    Typically the call management system you're thinking of involves (1) some setting up of specialized telecom lines, (2) the installation of call monitoring/routing hardware, and (3) the development or purchase of call monitoring/routing software. You would generally get the hardware here...

    I/O error appearing in dmesg...any idea what this means?

    According to my /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt file, 16:00 refers to either a Genius 4500 handheld scanner (character device) or a GoldStar CD-ROM (block device). I would guess sector errors come from the GoldStar CD-ROM, but I doubt many people have one of those... It could also be...

    sendmail or qmail? which one for a newbie to mail server?

    I personally think postfix has a better setup guide, plus the config files are more intuitive. Last I knew, qmail depended on D.J. Bernstein's customized service tools, which adds a little bit to the difficulty.

    sendmail or qmail? which one for a newbie to mail server?

    Sendmail is a good SMTP server to get comfortable with, simply for the fact that sendmail is the most ubiquitous *NIX SMTP server, and everything out there works first with sendmail. The one major drawback with Sendmail, though, is that it's one of the slowest SMTP servers around. In common...

    3GHz Pentium 4 due November 14th

    Word on the street was originally 2Q03, now it's 2H03. It doesn't show up on the "official" Intel roadmaps, partly because the "official" roadmaps only extend to 1H03. As for ramping confidence, answer me this: why would the Prescott get pushed back a quarter or two, when Intel is working...

    Recommend a good cable modem?

    Look for DOCSIS compliance, preferably 1.1 or higher. This is a standard that allows generic cable modems (and related equipment) to interoperate properly. Bandwidth isn't such a problem with cable modems, but latency and failure rate are rather more serious. They're especially serious as...

    picture of 4-way opteron system

    Back when all the Rambus controversy was at its height, Craig Barrett had a bad habit of letting anti-Rambus comments slip. He would say something negative about Rambus, then reporters (especially techie scandal-rags like the Register) would latch on to it and run, then Intel's spin doctors...

    picture of 4-way opteron system

    Ja, but that's just because Jerry Sanders (and Craig Barrett, too) have a bad habit of shooting their mouths off prematurely. Probably no one in their right mind is going to take Opteron over Itanium2 just for its performance. Opteron over Itanium, maybe. But that isn't going to be the point...

    Townhouse prewired with CAT5 cable. Now what?

    I know Leviton; they're the primary supplier of Cat5e keystone jacks at Home Depot. I've used a few of them in my 10/100 home network with no problems (though I tend to prefer AMP or Panduit parts all the same). They have "CAT5E" printed on them in grey when they come out of the box. It...

    Townhouse prewired with CAT5 cable. Now what?

    Your cable modem should go in the equipment room. Also, you'll probably be using a router, a NAT box with a switch/hub, or some other means of letting all computers share the cable broadband connection. This should go in your equipment room as well. EDIT: I should read posts a bit more...

    Townhouse prewired with CAT5 cable. Now what?

    In a proper pre-wired setup, every floor of a building has a "telecom closet"--a small room (closet-sized, perhaps--imagine that) to which each pre-wired line on that floor should run. The telecom closets for each floor are often stacked right on top of one another, from the architect's...

    Gigabit Ethernet WHY???

    There are copper->fiber transceiver adapters made. Just stick it on your RJ45 socket and connect the multimode fiber to the other side. I know AMP makes such a product. I don't remember how much they sell for though.

    Nah, you're not really guilty of FUD. Biased speculation, maybe, but I think we're all guilty of that once in a while. AntiAMD, however, is BS'ing about how things are now. So he's gotten classified as a FUDmonger.

    True, he usually posts good stuff. It usually sparks some interesting debate and sometimes some flame wars. He just needs to be a little more thick-skinned about the thread crapping...whining (okay, griping) about it, then blaming product zealots for all his woes, just isn't becoming at all.

    So much AMD love?

    I'm quite well aware that Intel's back in the lead now. But they've had a pretty bad couple of years (at leasts in the eyes of enthusiasts). The Willamette or Willamette Xeon was an extremely poor value, and even as far as absolute performance, it got put firmly in second place. Not to...

    So much AMD love?

    Actually, it's quite true. I've become very, very good at making boxen break if they have any hint of instability. My ancient T-bird 1.33GHz, running on an early revision Gigabyte GA-7DX motherboard (AMD761+VIA686B), has pretty much proven to be unbreakable, even with four bandwidth-hungry PCI...

    Even a crapped thread often has some entertainment value, and this one even has a little decent food for debate. Notice I'm not complaining because the thread got crapped; I'm merely pointing out why "crying us a river" over some AMD fans crapping it doesn't win you any support. At least two...

    I'm with Rainsford on this one. SSXeon, you had every right to start this thread, but honestly, the thread was born to be crapped on. It's flamebait, plain and simple. I think you expected that going in, and if you didn't, well, you should have. So complaining about how it got crapped after...

    Clawhammer 3400+ At 2.6GHz?

    Trouble is, we all know SPEC scores aren't reflected in real life. In real world tests (like the ones from this very site), the AthlonXP 2200+ competes very well with a 2.2GHz Northwood (and even a 2.4GHz Northwood, surprise surprise)--even in many SSE2 apps like Maya and 3DSMax. The only time...

    Clawhammer 3400+ At 2.6GHz?

    Due date is around end of the year, as we all know. As you might have heard, AMD has committed to demoing a >3000+ Hammer in October. So apparently Hammer has broken 2GHz (but I was already fairly certain of that).
