It's a ratio. Whether it's c333's or c400's, the % increase from single
to dual will be the same. Say it with me: r-a-t-i-o.

On the average that's what comes up when I calculate it from the
benchmarks/fps/routine timing I've seen over time.

Things are better with the advent of drivers implemented with 3dnow
optimizations which I've seen fps increases from myself but when the
actual game comes to calculation intensive parts things go to pot again
(from not having 3dnow optimizations in the game itself). A bastion of
hope comes from the k7 as it appears to me 3dnow is getting serious
consideration now because of it's unignorable rounded performance.
Bring 'em on, I'm still run'n off this k6-2 300 & could use any help I can
get.

Yes and it has a few options that most people don't need in a desktop

And the price is fairly expensive compared to most traditional desktop

That may be, but the policy of my cable modem ISP is to do regular
portscans of subscriber's machines, and if they detect sendmail running,
then your service is disconnected. They are *very* touchy about
sendmail. YMMV.

I remember someone at a Be User Group telling me that the BeOS runs for
a short period of time and then hangs.
While goofing around a while back, I tried ejecting a CDROM while
playing an MP3 off of it. To my surprise, the song kept playing until
the end. Curiously, the window containing the CDROM files was still open
(the OS didn't freak out, though). I double clicked a different MP3 and
that started playing for about a minute and then started messing up. It
turned out that the BeOS has an incredible CDROM disk cache. I reported
it to Be but I didn't know whether or not to mark it as a feature or a
bug on the report form. ^_^
Oh, the Netiquette gods are going to upset when they see how many
newsgroups this thread is being crossposted to. Oh well.

Subject: Adaptec / Phillips problems with problems with cdda2wav
Date: Tue, 6 Jul 1999 13:56:01 -0700
Hi, all...
I'm sort of a linux newbie, but I hope somebody can help me with this
problem.
I have an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card, so I am running the aic7xxx driver under
RedHat 5.2.
I have a single device connected to it, a Phillips CDD 2600 CD-R drive.
I have been able to burn data CDs no problem. It works like a champ (been
using the xcdroast program).
However, when I've started trying to make Audio CDs, I've run into problems.
I'm using cdda2wav (version 1.0c) to extract the data. I've tried
extracting it into wav, cdr, and raw formats.
What I've noticed is that once cdda2wav gets about 40% of the way through an
extraction (anywhere from track 4-6 depending on the CD), it craps out.
Here is the dump from when I ran the command:

_______________________
So, it looks like it dies on a "scsi sendcmd". The Red Hat homepage wasn't
encouragin, because it said that Adaptec doesn't make stuff available to the
driver writers for Linux.
Does anybody have any clues? I'm stuck, because it also plays CD's just
fine (XFreeCD, XPlayCD).
Please respond to this group or to [EMAIL PROTECTED], if you could.

this is probably a dumb question, but I just got a Linksys LNE100TX NIC
as a replacement for an old card that died. I can't seem to get it to
work.
Does any one know which drivers/modules I should be using?

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Well folks, it looks like I won't be being my usual helpful self
here in comp.os.linux.* anymore - or at least not from this address.
As my boss put it in a lengthy memo to me this morning:
When I review your time sheets I find it distressing to see you
spending hours of time a day with "Mail and News"...
I'm also not allowed to use my Linux laptop for work any more.
So, in the interest of spending more time doing the things that he
wants me to do (i.e. generating money), I'm going to have to stop
doing the things I like to do (i.e. being helpful to Linux folks on
Usenet and thus generating goodwill for the company). I hope
everyone won't take this the wrong way, and will continue to think
of DigitalFM as a place where helpful people work. Maybe some
folks who'd like to do business with helpful people will even
remember us when the time comes. :)
But for now, I'm dropping off Usenet from this address, and will
be posting from my personal (home) address instead.

Hi,
I don't know about the problem with the timers, but the behaviour of top
changed recently on SMP machines so that 100% now means all CPUs working
at full tilt. So, it looks like both CPUs are running above. If you
don't believe it, try running 1 and then 2 identical processes and
timing them. The time will be about the same if both CPUs are working,
and about twice as long if only one is.

You can run a server on a 386sx/16 if you wanted to. Linux will do it
just fine. You can also run one on a 4-way Xeon for about 100 times
as much. Any version of any distro will work, but you'll be happier

Hi !
Some OS have/had problems with harddisks that are larger
than 8GB (e.g. Windows NT without Service Pack 4). Windows98
and Windows95 support the FAT32 - Filesystem which has no
problems with HDs of this size.
I guess that the label was designed at a time, when WinNT
Service Pack 4 was not available and Win9X was the only
Windows Version that was able to use the complete HD.
The large HDs work perfectly with the actual
Linux-Distibutions.
So don't worry about this label !
Hope this was helpful !

I'm not sure that's what I said but given I was rather blunt, the longer
form is that Ensoniq AudioPCI is a great linux and win card.
Unfortunately someone emailed me to say sadly Ensoniq has moved totally
high/pro audio and so the only thing available is the creative version.
Good news is that the new creative version uses the good 1371 chipset.
