<0> Falchion: been playing much Oblivion?
<1> Falchion: charmed is NOT soft porn
<2> Tamahome_: Some. Been clearing out the arena
<0> I haven't played since Friday night
<1> it'#s a fairly **** TV show
<3> smsie: agreed, too much clothes
<4> and how some Dope
<2> Tamahome_: I played this weekend some.
<2> Too busy partying to play too much
<4> whoa
<5> what do you guys play?
<0> Orn: Oblivion, www.elderscrolls.com
<4> the drums
<6> Yeah, Oblivion, and DDO
<5> I've got a crappy computer, with a poor video card ... came play any real games.
<0> yeah, Oblivion is pretty demanding
<4> ohhh, Dope and then Otep
<6> Tamahome_: plays nice with my computer for the most part
<0> wlfy: config?
<5> what graphics card do you guys have?
<0> I have a GeForce 6600GT
<6> Tamahome_: Athlon XP 3000+, 1.5GB, and a 6800DS 256 MB AGp version
<5> I've got a crummy ti-4200
<5> Amd64 3000+, 1.0Gb
<6> oehansen: so, aside form the graphics, yoiu should be fine
<2> oehansen: I play it on my xbox360
<5> xbox 360 has dual core, don't it?
<2> 3 cores
<2> 3 3ghz cores to be exact
<7> Xbox 360?
<2> YEAH
<8> 3 cores?
<2> I wuv my 360. Now that there are decent games out.
<7> Yah if only you could put a real OS on the thing as then it would makea kick *** computer too.
<2> Ac tually, 3 3.2ghz cores.
<5> I wanna update my x64 to a dual core x2 ...
<7> You should they work very well
<0> only when your code is multithreaded :P
<2> Well, xbox360 DVD firmware has already been hacked. There's step 1 towards running an OS on it.
<7> Yah ever test a imac proagainsta dual G5 running code compiled for each cpu?
<7> I think I'll keep my G5 for now.
<7> Don't buy the X86 mac yet they are not quite ready.
<0> I don't have any intention of buying Apple stuff again
<7> I got one form decieving those free imac web things
<7> I'll buy one if they install a real cpu but if they stick with core no bussiness I'm not that dumb.
<2> ]/me loves his ibook
<5> Tamahome_: well you could as well buy a PC these days
<0> Orn: that's what I have.
<0> Orn: P4 3.0GHz, 1GB RAM
<2> Throw OSX on it :)
<0> Orn: the G4 sits in my bedroom, switched off.
<7> Yah I got OSX to run on my acer laptop it was funny.
<5> and then run BSD on it, with X and KDE/Gnome ... and you've got a better system then Mac :)
<3> woot
<8> it worked fine?
<7> I'm running suse 10 64bit on a dual core AMD right now.
<7> I need to buya better video card. though.
<5> Ayanami: how does x2 perform?
<0> I just think 64-bit, dual core and all this is stupid... no one has apps that really make a difference on those CPUs
<7> Well if you have multi threaded code they fly.
<5> the OS can't dual thread to make use of the extra CPU when CPU #1 is loaded?
<9> HT or dual cores can make your OS feel more responsive, too
<9> especially Windows
<0> Orn: threading is a programming model
<7> Also skype pissed me off they limited my cpu to 8 connections and I'm not even using 40% of one core what the helll is up with that.
<3> Tamahome_: you don't have any application that does multithreading?
<0> K_F: *some*, but not all.
<3> all doesn't have to
<3> but it is a real boost for e.g. Apache
<0> there's really a lot of code that runs single-threaded these days
<9> don't overlook the "process" level
<5> Tamahome_: sure, but the kernel should be able to run a new program on the second CPU to "balance" the system.
<3> and that..
<0> oh, that's process scheduling
<7> I wonder what intel did to get apple to switch then agian maybe I do not want to know what Paul did for Steve.
<0> yeah, but that's still only half the benefit
<9> Ayanami, PowerPC not developing performancewise as fast as Apple would like
<5> Tamahome_: sure, but basically you end up with "X/KDE" not stopping your program from flying.
<0> yeah, Jobs is a ****.
<7> The G5 beats the core even when crippled with G4 code.
<7> Only place it was comming up short with in laptops.
<5> Jobs always was, put Atari under ...
<5> priced the Falcon so high, nobody could afford it
<7> I wouldn't buy the core ever one it's 32bits two I do not support it's political orgins.
<0> I just think about all the stink Apple made about their processor being 64-bit, and then they fall back to the Core which is only 32
<0> plus, I also see Apple more as iPod, Inc. than anything else these days
<5> core?
<7> it was developed by intel's Israelie site which is located on disputed terrritory that alone is enough reason to never use the chip.
<4> stupid mplayer won't play this video
<0> Orn: the new name for Intel's x86 chips
<7> Yohna/conroe
<5> oh, ok.
<0> "Intel Inside" is dead
<7> Form what I seen it's not selling well in asian and middle eastern markets.
<0> 10 year marketting campaign
<8> whats the new catch frase now?
<5> "Intel Outside"
<7> lol
<8> lol
<0> www.intel.com and find out you lazy bum :P
<8> hahaha id care
<8> i have amd
<5> VI IV :)
<8> ;p
<0> heh, Viiv
<7> Intel better watch out AMD has them beat on the high end and VIA's new C8 beats centrino in mips/watt.
<0> I'm so sick of the processor wars
<7> If you are going to use 32bit cores might as well just run 4 C8s and bring one online as you need one.
<4> yeah, it's time for the clone wards
<4> er wars
<5> VI IV ... supposed to 64, but AMD already has that covered. They made the 64 path not intel.
<7> Intel was counting on Itallium.
<10> Itanic
<0> autom4ke: the new slogan is "Leap ahead."
<7> Yah Itallium I was Itanic they had to have the HP PA risc team design itallium II.
<10> Heh... and PA ****s, too.
<0> actually Itanium was *always* based on the PA-RISC
<7> Of course half the PA-risc team likely quit when they got a dose of intels managment.
<0> the idea was that people who had HP/UX would migrate to it and the binaries would run without being recompiled
<7> I thought Itallium was VLWI like the old cray 1/2.
<5> well, I never figured out why anyone would chose x86 instead of 68k ... the latter was superior in every way, just like the PPC. Don't underestimate the power of the Pentagram processor.
<10> Uh, Itanium and PA Risc were never intended to be binary compatible...
<0> Ka-bar: yes they were
<3> hmm, 2.6.16-git20 is out
<11> This mythtv box sails now that I upped the ram to 768
<0> HP wanted to junk PA-RISC ages ago
<7> The stuff we call mmx/see/3dnow/altivec is lifted from MIPS which was barrowed from the cray one vector unit.
<7> Yah but HP needed a cpu that could replace pa-risc and IA-32 ****ed.
<12> ****in' new guy
<0> but now that Itanium has failed spectacularly (witness Dell stopped selling Itanium boxen ~2 months ago)
<3> jgaddis: what did he do?
<10> and Intel did steal some things from Alpha for the Itanic.
<7> X86-64 did fix many of IA-32s worst problem.
<0> , no one really knows what will become of it
<12> my phone is the only one in the building that will show my name instead of the number when i call someone. it's been like that for over a year and he asked if i had a problem w/ him taking it off because "i don't want a bunch of people asking for that".
<12> it's been over a ****in' year and not a single person has asked for it
<7> AMD has the Alpha design team.
<0> yep, after ****ing up DEC
<3> jgaddis: hehe
<12> so, instead of saying something like "6156 calling 6049", it says "Jeremy calling 6049"
<13> bwahahahah
<10> Ayanami: not all of them. Intel got quite a few.
<0> HyperTransport is the evolution of the Alpha's memory transport technology
<13> we have a meeting meeting.
<12> i told him to leave my **** alone and if he removes it, i'll put it right back
<3> jgaddis: yeah, familiar with the concept
<3> hehe
<3> good move
