Why was the 22nd amendment passed in the first place? I assume there must have been good reasons put forward to limit the number of terms of the presidency. If there were, what has changed between now and then? In other words, why has the situation that caused A22 to be implemented now...

Something I didn't consider when running the P4 tests is that my work P4 is behind firewall and the Flash does not display. If anyone with a P4 can check, it would be most helpful.

So the 24 amendment repeals the 22nd. What is the 22nd?

Didn't Mae West say too much of a good thing is great? :)

Yes, I noticed the typo–but I quite like the idea of mammary expansion :mrgrn:

Yes. What you are seeing is two channels with the ability to have two DIMMs per channel. This is only to facilitate mamory expansion. When only one DIMM slot is populated, the data path looks like: NB -> Slot 1 -> NB. With both DIMM slots populated, you can view the data path as: NB ->...

Interleaving is not dependent upon the number of DIMM's in a system, it is dependent upon the internal configuration of the chips themselves. http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT110401204523

Yep, but had to turn off folding temporarily. :( /. -5 for dedication to the cause :(

Gaaack! Don't mind me mubs. Ignore the above. It would help if I had Flash & Shockwave installed! :oops: With the two nefarious plug-ins, FF CPU is between 4 and 48% :eekers:

Hmmm.Just tried this on my P!!!-600 320MB RAM FF & no extensions on Win98SE CPU is 1% according to Process Explorer, so the Flash bug isn't getting to this machine—which re-inforces my thought about this issue being AMD specific. But that raises the interesting question of why you are seeing...

Found this just now on the relative performance of Flash http://www.philsteinmeyer.com/xoops/modules/news/article.php?storyid=18 Note: later on someone else benchs Java and acheives 38 & 24 milli's, so only 50 to 100% slower than optimised C, and on par with other HLL's. But Flash! Ughh...

For the Opera lovers, it looks like Opera had a similar problem at one stage, but solved it. http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=119047

Re-installed Flashblock, same three windows open as above CPU 0%, 28 504KB It would be useful to devise a list of Flash heavy sites so a test could be formulated and the FF developers alerted for comment

Possible solution. I remember reading about how AMD processors seem to have an issue with Flash/Shockwave. I use Flashblock. I uninstalled Flashblock and restarted Firefox. Now with the same three windows open, FF usage is switches between 8~21% of an X2 with memory usage of 32 564KB. If...

3 tabs open, your link above, this thread on SF and http://www.abc.net.au/news/ CPU 0~2% and 26 836KB of mem. CPU 0~2%, 29 232KB X2 3800+ 1GB RAM AVG

Shut down FF and restart. 3 tabs open, your link above, this thread on SF and http://www.abc.net.au/news/ CPU 0~2% and 26 836KB of mem. I seem to recall having seen strange CPU usage with PC-Cillan and some web pages which required me to disable some feature, so I will include that my AV is...

Did you not see "might" in my statement? I think you have taken my statement out of context. IE 6 is the dominant browser now, and in the foreseeable future. And as I clearly explained, above, I was unsure of how others behave, so I used the word "might" How is this unclear? Now this is...

So? If you all think it is a "craptacular application design", that is your choice. I say that you are targetting the wrong thing, as it is changeable, it is a default choice, not a design decision, and, not everybody experiences this issue, so it probably isn't even a design issue at all. It...

AnandTech and NewEgg are running a comp http://promotions.newegg.com/NEPro/AnandTech//index.html

Eh? So it doesn't suit you? How does that make it craptacular? Or are you saying that your choices are the best for everyone? It is a design decision, which I will point out, you can change. That is a great design decision IMO (allowing the user to decide). In other browsers you might...

The worship of Huitzilopochtli and Moloch? Are you sure "civilisation" is "progressing"?

That long? :mrgrn:

I am currently getting a 413 error when attempting to send back results. As this is behind the work firewall, can I just copy the folder take it home and do a send from home—even though the machine will be different?

OK, OK! I hate horizontal scrolling too—but I can't think the last time I actually posted a long URL anywhere. I have now gone to TinyURL to see what it's about, how to use it and I promise not to do it again. :oops:

I re-read what I wrote and point taken. I was not intending to be abrupt or disparaging, but I can see how somebody could read it that way. I apologise to Fushigi if he took it that way. It was a genuine request for more information about the point(s) raised. I could not fathom the bearing...

Actually, you remind me of a thought I had whilst formulating my replies. I have been watching Air Crash Investigations and it has struck me that none of the highlighted crashes are due to a single obvious cause. It's all about a series of circumstances taken together, none, or few of which...

Ah, no, time chose the Falcon for an old v new comparison. I just highlighted a few issues I had in relation to a "straight" XF v BF comparison. Ford obviously chose to add features rather than concentrate on absolute weight reduction, i.e. they eliminated weight from the structure where...

Again, your point? I addressed everything you reiterated here in my previous post, none of which you addressed, you just repeated what you said in your first. I did not say there were no CVT's, just that they were not common. I also pointed out that the designs (Audi, Nissan, generic CVT)...

Your point? Yes it's a CVT. No it is not like any other on the market. Different technology requiring extremely fine machine tolerances. Costly as hell. One exception does not make the rule. Using this example (for CVT) is like saying that a 1908 Mercedes slide valve and the engine in the...

Your source for this assertion? Nearly every engineer quoted when describing a new engine makes mention of decreased frictional losses. Either this is the greatest conspiracy theory in history, or, automotive engineers do pay attention to frictional losses—so either all these engineers are...

http://techreport.com/ja.zz?comments=9350 O.K. Tony, come clean! :mrgrn: Just joking O.K. At least they got the "viral" nature right. Squash the shills!

Not necesarily. All things being equal, I'll take more power thanks. Under light throttle loads, a more highly tuned engine can be more fuel efficient, as a way to increase power is to decrease frictional losses or another is to improve fuel/air mixture/butn ratios -> the net result being more...

Agreed! You must be! :mrgrn:

Learn something new everyday :) Thanks for the links.

My understanding is that the 3540 is black and the 3520 is beige. There endeth the differences.

O.K. If he knows better than you, then sell him a top end card from the competition (if he has ATi, sell him and NVIDIA) at a generous markup and consider it as education for him/her—and he just paid for it. :mrgrn:

Video drivers were pulled into the NT kernel when NT moved from 3.5/3.51 to 4.0. It was done to increase compatability and allow faster hardware access, but it does decrease stability. You'll probably find that the BSOD is probably game/maybe level/card/video BIOS specific.

My understanding of new production ramps (like bringing a new fab online, or bringing a new process online, e.g. 65 nm) is that yields will be O.K. at the lower speed bins. As the process/fab becomes more mature, then you getter higher yields of faster parts. It looks like the lower speed bins...

No the OPN is only on the heatspreader, you'd have to take the heatsink off to read it. 3700+ chips were originally FX-51's that were old stock, hence "Clawhammer" core. The SD core is relatively new. You wouldn't be the first one caught out this way. But it all seems to be irrelevant as...

The only way to know this for sure is you post/check the OPN from the heat spreader. Are you sure it's a San Diego? Can you post the OPN?

Well lucky she wasn't from Köln, and you didn't spell it Koln, given your post :) Still I suppose you could have been boorish and spelt it Cologne ;)
