[nlug] suggestion for a Nobel Prace Prize for Linus Torvalds
I can get behind this. http://www.ridenbaugh.com/index.php/2009/11/18/a-northwest-nobel-option/ Linus would be an excellent addition to this list: http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/index.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.

Re: [nlug] suggestion for a Nobel Prace Prize for Linus Torvalds
I think Linus would be a far more appropriate recipient than some of the murderers, thieves and jackals that have recently polluted the good name of the prize. But frankly, I wouldn't want his reputation tainted by including him in that group. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.

[nlug] Processor question
Pentium-D vs Core2 Pentium-D vs AMD Athlon/Phenom Opinions? Differences? I'm looking at building a cheap system to use as a workstation / server and have found a cheap Pentium-D dual core system and was wondering how it would compare to a Core2Duo or an AMD Phenom (or Phenom II). Any opinions and or links would be appreciated. I might use if for some casual gaming but nothing intense. I want to run VMs on the system which I will be using for learning and development, no serious full time services.

Re: [nlug] Processor question
The Pentium D's and some of the really low end Core 2's do not have hardware virtualization on the chip. Intel calls this Intel VT, AMD calls it AMD-V. There are some programs that do software (para) virtualization and don't require this built into the CPU, but most virtualization software requires it and it makes a noticeable performance difference. All recent AMD chips have this built in, only Core 2 Duo and above have it on the Intel side. If you're considering virtualization now or sometime in the future, make sure you get the CPU that can handle it.
