Mech, I share you interest in the SSE-2 perfomance of Hammer...My main interest in a dual CPU system stems from the fact that the Hammer architecture will probably scale much better than previous Xeon and AthlonMP systems. I never thought it made much financial sense to do it when SMP software...
You guys are right of course, but AMD really needs to get the Hammer train moving. I am ready to believe NOW. I am ready to buy NOW. Further delay of 3 or 4 months is not acceptable. Why do they not demonstrate more systems in more configurations? AMD has nothing to lose by making more...
Since my next PC will be Hammer based, I am of course very interested in what Nvidia's Crush K8 will have to offer. I really would like to be able to build a dual CPU workstation but I have yet to see any pics/info on a consumer level, ATX board for 2 chips. I think the whole uni-chip CK8 fits...
I think they strectched Sledgehammer down to a 1-way to reflect the use of small blade servers, and to impress upon the Tier One OEMs that they want to be a one stop shop for server cpus...
To expand the discussion, I was disappointed to hear from the webcast announcement that VALIDATED Opteron...
Don't get me wrong folks, even though I am critical of Creative, I didn't say I didn't like my Audigy, quite the contrary, I just feel like for the investment that people like yourselves and I have made in their products time and time again we deserve a little more than one half ass product...
--Warning Begining Rant--
I've never been too impressed with Creative's lack of customer respect, and this article makes me think that they aren't doing anything to change that image...
How new is the Sound Blaster Audigy?
The article basically states that the EMU 10K2 chip that powers the...
Here is my copy of two pdf files I downloaded from AMD's website, sorry I couldn't find the weblink to the file:
Hammer White Paper
Hammer Presentation
In reading some of the various design documents regarding AMD's upcoming Hammer architechture, the flexibility of the HyperTransport technology really peaked my interest. I thought it would be quite easy to build large Linux-based clusters. The picture shows one idea I had for a 16 CPU...
Do either of you know where I could read/learn more about NTFS and file encryption? I find that feature of Win2k very interesting, but I want to learn more before I start changing settings on my PC...
No specific problems, its my first time using an NT OS, so there are plenty of things I like about it, but I'm the kind of person who wants to make sure I've got my drivers and such the best they can be. So, I'm curious about a new service pack because I'm getting tired of trying to get every...
Like it says...I want to put an AthlonMP in my new system so at some future point I could upgrade to a dual processor setup when those mobos get cheaper!
