"Intel's short-range plans for the successors to its Pentium 4 line and
Prescott (wherever it fits in). First, there's news that Intel will be using AMD's 64bit extensions and not their own due to Microsoft: " bowen ten.sardna@newobNov 7, 2003, 7:26pm

Generally when someone makes a new technology and a big company takes
advantage of it... everyone mimics that new technology. IBM is the odd man out with their own weird stuff. -- --Bowen-- http://bowen.homelinux.com Give me ideas. jermeNov 8, 2003, 3:15am
Hasn't IBM always been the odd man out? They've always done their own
thing... -Jeremy -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker - Owner / Webmaster JTech Web Systems www.JTechWebSystems.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Not always, sometimes they like to follow trends. I can't think of a
specific example, but I know there's gotta be one. -- --Bowen-- http://bowen.homelinux.com Give me ideas. jermeNov 8, 2003, 1:57pm
The only example I could think of would be the PC. Althrough they created
the PC trend, they've also stuck with it. Other than that though, they're on their own. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker - Owner / Webmaster JTech Web Systems www.JTechWebSystems.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Yea, Intel was the one pushing the stupid RamBus memory.. It was way too
expensive to every succeed. It never made it to "industry standard" status like DRR has. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker - Owner / Webmaster JTech Web Systems www.JTechWebSystems.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Rambus is pretty good actually, but, not consumer friendly. I wouldn't
mind using Rambus as long as it wasn't that much more expensive. Maybe they'll make it better someday. -- --Bowen-- http://bowen.homelinux.com Give me ideas. |
