2009/5/6 [Computer/HW/CPU] UID:52952 Activity:moderate | 5/5 Any idea why the AMD only added 8 more registers with the AMD64 arch.?
Why 16 registers and not, say, 32?
\_ To double the accessible register count, you need one more bit
in the instruction stream _per_ register field. x86 instruction
set is already packed like rat's nest as is.

2008/10/14-20 [Computer/SW/Languages/Misc, Computer/SW/Languages/Web] UID:51527 Activity:nil | 10/14 2 apache 2.0.52 servers running on Linux boxes. Identical httpd.conf
files (except for ServerName). But on one, if a CGI script takes
longer than 300 seconds, it times out. The other, not. Why is that?
\_ Perhaps network equipment configuration. Or try comparing settings
in /proc/sys/net.
\_ I ran /sbin/sysctl -a | grep tcp, all settings are the same.

2006/9/10-12 [Computer/HW/Drives, Computer/HW/CPU] UID:44341 Activity:nil | 9/11 For those who run his/her own server. Has any of you tried to run a
fanless system that uses AMD Operon or Pentium M that is clocked more
than 1GHz? where to get chassis like these? can't find it at Fry's.
\_ No, but I have a fanless 800 MHz Via C3, with a big Zalman heatsink.
Got the CPU on ebay for about $50 and got the heatsink (CNPS-6000AlCu
Flower Cooler) from http://endpcnoise.com for about $40.. Runs great.

2006/8/30-9/3 [Computer/HW/Memory, Computer/HW/CPU] UID:44208 Activity:nil | 8/30 I just configured a Dell XPS M1710 with the 2.0-GHz 4MB-cache
Core 2 Duo with WinXP Pro and 3 years warranty. $3,106 after tax!
Dang, some rich kids will be spending bux on their computer for
undergrad WoW.
\_ Excuse my lameness, but it this faster than a 3GHz Pentium D ?
I know MHz doesn't matter anymore, but it doesn't feel right.

2006/7/25-28 [Computer/HW/CPU] UID:43795 Activity:nil | 7/25 I want to buy a quiet PC. It doesn't have to be completely silent,
just quieter than the one I have now (something I could put in a
bedroom and still fall asleep). Can someone recommend a prebuilt
but configurable computer (Dell etc) that isn't loud? I've seen some
websites like http://silentpcreview.com but those seem very focused on
building your own system, which I don't have time to deal with right

2006/7/1-6 [Computer/HW/Laptop, Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:43548 Activity:nil | 7/1 So my new MacBook Pro is hot hot hot! And I mean, it is so hot that
it is unbearable to put on my laptop, even when it is idling.
In addition the battery lasts only 2 hours at max, when only
5% of the CPU is used. In contrast, my 1.5GHz Pentium M is
pretty cool, and lasts 2.5 hours with a smaller battery. My G4
is also really really cool and lasts almost 4 hours. What the
