remember how slow things were back then? it may be that the timings are just too difficult these days.

the red-x and intel inside were the creation of dennis carter.
gb
support its operations and growth
growth...we've heard of it...
gb
erm...more like analyst speculation about intc fsb plans.
fwiw, timna wasn't delayed for flaws. it worked extremely well. rdram was too expensive however and mth was a poor attempt at making sdram work in it's place.
gb
i'm sure that bryant is more than capable of "helping" divisional and group executives see which is the best course of action financially. that he doesn't include you in those discussions is hardly surprising.
that the chipset suppliers are "falling all over themselves" is hardly surprising either since intel continues to take market segment share.
gb
is that the best you can do?
gb
intel is the world's largest manufacturer of high performance, low cost memory controllers and has been for the last half dozen years.
get over it.
gb
wonder why they chose itanium rather than "homegrown" opterons?
gb
the funny part was that it was still incredibly stifling hot but now it was humid as well!
gb
during a visit to intel chandler one summer i came across the "smoker's lounge" outside when moving between buildings. there was a huge volume of mist being emitted, ostensibly to keep folks feeling a bit cooler while they killed themselves on tobacco.
the phrase "but it's a dry heat" immediately came to mind and it cracked me up!
there were a couple of smokers there "enjoying" themselves.
gb
it was always hp's intent to get out of the cpu business from the first days of the itanium project. it just took a lot longer than anyone expected...
gb
does the published errata for the opteron indicate any problems with chipkill?
gb
good question...i don't have an answer. but some planned ideas for integration of features include better integrated graphics, several rounds of wireless improvements to be integrated, a lot better security likely including integration with biometrics if not outright inclusion, continued refinement of power-management to allow all day use without recharging. there's been some mention of integrating the backlight somehow with the graphics driver to permit a lower power level. probably some sort of hardware level of content protection for at least consumer targetted pcs.
i does seem a stretch to expect this level of improvement along with natural increases in performance to eat up 22nm die however.
btw, this is a problem for intel and it's competitors as well assuming they have the resources to continue to participate.
dunno
gb
it was during the q&a when one of the analysts were picking apart the schedule. they noted that the platform wouldn't launch until 2006 yet Yonah was shipping for revenue in '05. they asked whether there was another chipset shipping for Yonah to allow systems to be sold in '05 and PSO stated that there wasn't.
gb
yes it will.
gb
agree with the battle vs war sentiment at least for the rambus drams. they seem to be winning on the merits of their various cases however against the dram folks who appear to have colluded to kill drdram.
rambus does appear to have some good ip on connectivity. i guess when you focus your efforts on one thing you can make advances that others don't have resources for or are willing to wait for committees to develop.
i don't follow rambus but have seen several press releases that their ip has been licensed for various applications.
gb
i've never been a rambus investor (at least directly) but i don't think we've seen the last of the rambus litigation against the dram manufacturers. my personal opinion is that rambus is likely to prevail across the board.

Nikon Capture has problems with AMD64. This from a Nikon user whose computer resets while working with a particular datafile format common to Nikon cameras. I'm sure he thought he had the hottest thing for image processing.
Seems compatibility isn't always a sure thing:
<< What does your machine have in it?>>
Thats me, I'm afraid,I have an AMD 64 FX-55.
I did some research and found 3 ways to get by this problem
So far,I failed the first method and the second involves changing some script in boot.ini and I don't get a good feeling about that method.
The last option is to uninstall SP2.
I'm still in the debate mode.
there's a difference between licensing a patent and buying it. buying it would give lenovo a revenue stream.
gb
patents...and a lot of them and worth plenty.
ibm had a whole group who spent their time reviewing ibm activities for patents and also participating in external standards bodies watching for potential patent revenue opportunities (read infringement).

intel is the world's largest manufacturer of memory controllers and has been for the last half dozen years. mth was a misconceived bandaid.
you obviously don't know what you're talking about.

i doubt that anyone "stuffs" walmart...
gb
sorry if i wasn't clear.
amd's oems aren't about to start selling mainstream volume desktops with the promise that they're 64bit ready for the simple reason that they can't afford the support calls from every tom, dick and harry that can't make it run for some reason.
the only way that mainstream volume 64bit desktops will take off is when the oems can actually ship a production version of win64 fully configured and tested with a bunch of software and peripherals.
if msft holds schedule that might be in time for back to school season in 2005. if not then the next major opportunity won't occur until spring 2006 when the oems typically do a mid-cycle refresh.
no amount of 64bit hot air from either amd or intel will change that.
gb
it sounds like a nice unit. you didn't say but it sounds like it is still running winxp media center edition which is 32 bit?
gb
can you post the newsgroup name? sometimes my provider is late adding things and i have to go searching other servers.
tnx
gb
amd doesn't sell systems last i checked. it's the oems who lose money taking customer calls.
gb
In working with OEMs it's been my experience that they are extremely reluctant to sell a mainstream box with a future "feature" that they personally haven't validated.
When MSFT has a Win64 release candidate they will no doubt have a cattle call for boxes from OEMs that they can validate against as well as have the OEMs do their own validation. That means all manner of software (drivers and applications) that MSFT and the OEMs have in their suites will have to be tested against the actual hardware expected to ship with the OS.
Most OEMs won't make any claims about previously shipped boxes being capable of running the the "64bit OS" since they don't want to have to deal with driver updates and version updates of various pieces of software that the users will have already installed.
What does this mean? It means that basically no major OEM will claim that the mainstream desktop machine they're shipping today will run Win64 for fear of having to deal with all the expensive aggravation.
For me that means no buying "64bits" until it's shipping on OEM boxes in volume. And buying a machine in expectation that it will run Win64 before then is a nonstarter. I suspect that's the case for most folks as well.
The fact that some here are early adopters doesn't change that fact.
gb
actually i have been very pleased with xp2. all machines in my home were updated with it and all seemed a bit snappier. i was expecting quite the opposite.
gb
i said neither are slow...i.e. both meet my speed expectations. if i get time i'll post the boot times.
gb
neither my wife's nor daughter's dell notebooks equipped with centrino are slow to boot. both are winxp home edition.
gb
the somebody was pso...
he didn't say he would ship...he said he could ship.
gb
what kind of app was it? was it an actual server intended app? sounds bogus to me.
gb
could you explain the use of directx on servers?
gb
chipsets for desktop, mobile and server. next is all the embedded cpus and microcontrollers. next in volume is the communication stuff which i suspect is quite a bit smaller volume so far.
gb
the centrino wifi is always offered on a minipci card. they are already cheap. do a google and find lots of the intel 54g units.
i think you're out of your depth here...
gb
a good many believe that products are not just physical items but all that goes with them...including marketing.
think bigger...
gb
if you read the paper it becomes clear that it is a dictionary attack approach which can be countered by a passphrase which is sufficiently long. 20 characters is suggested and if numeric or symbolic characters are added it will likely be sufficient if less.
refresh my memory, is your use highvalue corporate or personal?
gb
ssid is actually transmitted anyway. do a google and you'll find that.
