Having been hit by the w32.blaster myself, I was thinking why do the main IA32 vendors not put an end to this. How? Provide some (sticky) bit in some MSR to disable this expletive JMP ESP instruction. Make it generate an #UD exception instead, so the OS could actually spot an attack right when...

Does anyone know when are dual core Xeons supplsed to appear? Will the be pin-compatible with current Xeons and really be twice as fast? Thanks

BANG! Maailmankaikkeuden historia./Neutriino. Neutriinot ovat pieniä ja hyvin kevyitä hiukkasia. Niitä syntyy ydinfuusiossa, jotka toimivat tähtien (esimerkiksi Auringon, perusydinvoimalan) energian lähteinä. Useiden vuosien ajan neutriinojen oletettiin olevan massattomia, mutta nykyään tiedetään...

According to this story: http://www.silicon.com/news/500018/1/5962.html Intel is delaying the introduction of a Wi-Fi chip inside its Centrino chipset. I thought Intel already had a Wi-Fi chip in the Centrino? Yousuf Khan

Terry Shannon recently did an interview about the future directions of OpenVMS. HP strongly denies they will ever port their OpenVMS operating system over to x86 extensions (AMD64, EM64T) from Itanium. Of course, just a few months ago, they were strongly denying that they would ever use...

I'm here for information and to provide some also occassionally. Realizing that this newsgroup's quality is lowered by extraneous off-topic information, I don't mind moderating it a bit. Of course the real solution is to create comp.sys.amd (anyone up for a RFD?) and perhaps comp.sys.chips.x86...

I was reading specs on hard drive, specifically data transfer rates and it looks like they're much lower than even the SATA II maximum data transfer rates, so why did they come out with SATA III? .... or have I read something wrong?

Hi, I'm a graduate student developing JAVA JIT compiler on Itanium. Working with Itanium, I got a problem with speculative loads and needs your kind help to get out of it. Here's my situation, I'm trying to use the "speculative load" feature of IA64 for performance. But I found speculative loads...

This mb apparently has no floppy drive, but XP needs a floppy in order to load the RAID drivers. I have read online that one can "slipstream" the drivers onto a WinXP install CD, but I find the process confusing. Is there somewhere I can purchase or download an image of a WinXP SP2 cd with...

There's some good potshots at Intel for not being able to hit 4Ghz with Pentium 4, but the really funny shot goes against Apple/IBM for not getting G5 out at 3Ghz. Intel's in good company. Nobody hit the chip speeds they promised. In June 2003, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said IBM's G5 chips would be...
