The latter is way more > complex to code for. I wasn't talking specifically about network cards. But if you want specific examples... How about the x86 or parisc cpu, and all their derivatives, are those complex enough for you? :-) I've worked on OpenGL capable grapics card drivers of various vintages, and I honestly don't think there is anything in there more complex than what we have to deal with in the kernel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
