Itanium finally passes Alpha at HP by Yousuf Khan
Itanium sales have finally surpassed Alpha sales at HP. Looks like it's mostly in the OpenVMS market though. Most OpenVMS customers are entrenching around Itanium now. The Alpha-Tru64 market still seems to be volatile. http://www.techweb.com/wire/story/TWB20040820S0005 Yousuf Khan

More details about 32-way Horus chipset for Opteron by Yousuf Khan
Looks like Newisys is using a directory-based cache coherency chip to take Opterons beyond their 4- or 8-way internal limitations. The people who designed this chipset seem to be the same people who designed IBM's Summit chipset for Xeon. There's also some interesting chatter about why IBM chose...

help me get started with Embedded devices using Am29C020 chip on an SBC by heirbrande
Hi, I would like some places to start to get the easiest program programmed into an AM29C020 EEprom to boot a single board computer. I imagine seeing DOS or Linux booting up to say "Hello, World". First I just want to see this thing boot to something else instead of the WinCE that it boots to.
