RE: [SLUG] AMD based computers.

As has been said, there is no general case that says either way whether Intel or AMD CPUs are better. Certainly for most of last year the AMD based HP servers were much better bang-for-buck having their dual core Opteron. For those interested HP Proliant server model numbers ending in the digit 5 (

Hi, We have ARM926EJ-S board and trying to boot Linux on the same. We are using 2.6.19 with cramfs. But we are failing with kernel panic error. Please see attached log of the same. Please let us know what could be the issue. run u-boot_versatilepb U-Boot 1.2.0-gb326152

Re: [SLUG] AMD based computers.

For servers, it comes down to price/performance/power. I haven't been watching very closely in recent times, but it seems Intel are making a strong comeback on that front. Anyone have links to (clueful) comparisons that take all three into account? For the general case, I haven't seen any. Fo
