Heh, Valve sure *have* been up to something. They just announced shifting the Ep2 package into the summer of 2007.

Full article at: http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/cpu/valve-multicore.ars From the article: - Deadlocks, livelocks, and race conditions, oh my! On the first day of November, a group of technology journalists were invited to a special press event held at Valve's headquarters in Bellevue, Washington. There, we were treated to an unveiling of the company's new programming strategy, which has been completely realigned around supporting multiple CPU cores. Valve is planning on more than just supporting them. It wants to make the absolute maximum use of the extra power to deliver more than just extra frames per second, but also a more immersive gaming experience. - Mark ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
