Well, yours seems to me a hardly believable afirmation...
First, you stay that the machine will be a numbercruncher, then probably
using a single app most of (computing) time, so I believe any faster
processor will do better than a dual machine at the same equivalent
speed (roughly half and a bit more per processor)... but this is not
because the AMD vs Intel stuff but because most probably your app is not
able to take advantage of the dual architecture (it might probe that
your client's app behalves from bad -using one CPU up to 100% and
letting the other unused, to horribly -loosing most of the time jumping
processes between both processors, on these circumstances).
Second, you stay that the Athlon blew away *everything* by a factor of
2, which is the very first notice I had this way (including AMD
assertions, which one can expect to be a bit biassed): even AMD stays
that its FPU is still not as good as that from the P6 (although by only
a sligth margin).
Third, probably my English is not as good as it could be, but I don't
understand your last assertion about Alphas. Does it mean that the
Alpha was blown away by the benchmarks (that is, it did it poorly) or
that Alpha blew away any rival regarding its benchmarks? I do believe
the second it's the true... again, not because its faster (and wider)
frontal bus, but because it has better MIPS rank (well, that's the
advantage of RISC, isn't it?
Anyway, if the crunchingnumber app is well programmed (not miracolously
well programmed, just well) it will use extend use of CPU preload, which
roughly means that when moving big bunches of numbers, the bigger cache
of the Xeon CPU should beat by far the Athlon when running at the same
speed... So, I would suggest (being the crunchnumbering really the
bottelneck) that a XXXMHz PIII Xeon should be from fairly to much faster
than an Athlon at the same speed on these circumstances. My opinion is
that, in these circumstances, the *real* problem were that your client
didn't design good enough what they needed, nothing to do with a AMD vs
Intel question.

Has anyone tried to install the /boot partition on a RAID? I noticed
that this is not supported in the RedHat compatiblity notes.
It seems to me that a hardware RAID controller would enable /boot to be
installed on a RAID.
Has anyone tried this on a ICP/Adaptec RAID system?
I'm new to Linux with RAID. If this isn't possible I'm assuming that
/boot installed on a separate disk from the RAID devices.

I've been looking at these to update my digital photo
printing ( currently using Epson Color Sylus Pro).
The boxes and web pages say that these are "PCL4" or
enhanced "PCL4" language printers.
However, is this a statement about printer + windows driver,
or a statement about just the printer.
In particular, will these work under linux with goshscript?

I had seen reference to it being low level formatted, but now that I think
about it, the process only worked on one model of scsi controller that you
probably won't have access to (aha1740 in a microchannel ps/2). You may
want to find the 520to512.exe and give that a try. I think it changes the
actual settings on the drive.

Now i have a question for ya, pciutils sees my realtek ethernet card
perfectly and the right type as well, but when i run make xconfig
(debian), i can't select it although it's in the list.
So i choose a NE2000 support and compile the kernel without problems.

Check what video card you will be using, and if it has X support. Then check
if it is stable with the mb. I can;t get a GeForce 2 because X doesn't

Subject: need help adding SCSI
Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2000 16:43:13 -0500
I've got a Dell PowerEdge1300/500 that is less than a year old. It came with
Redhat 6.2 pre-installed. It already has one SCSI set to SCSI ID0 which works
fine. My SCSI controller is an Adaptec AIC-7890 and linux is using the aic7xxxx
scsi module I think.
OK. I set the new SCSI (giant 36.x IBM SCSI ultrawide) jumpers to SCSI ID1. I
plugged everything up and powered up. Before it booted, I went and had a look at
the BIOS SCSI goodies. I low-level formatted it and ran all the tests in the
BIOS's SCSI utilities. No problems.
Now linux tries to boot. It gets to the point where it lists my SCSI controller.
Then it lists the vendor and model information for SCSI ID0. In never gets to
SCSI ID1 (the new SCSI). The last thing I see before the error information is:
Detected SCSI sda at SCSI 0, channel 0, ID 0, LUN 0
Then I get:
Aborting command due to timeout:
pid 2, scsi 0 channel 0, id 1, lun 0 test unit ready 00 00 00 00 00
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 2) timeout - resetting
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 2) timeout - resetting - trying harder
Then it repeats those last 3 lines indefinitely.
By the way, I'm using the cable and connectors that came with the <1 year old
Dell system. There is a terminator on the end. I'm not sure about all that
auto-terminate buisness. The freakin hard drive didn't come with any books,
instructions, or anything. What do ya expect for a $700 hard drive :-/
Any ideas? I half expected I'd run into some kind of challenge, but I hoped I
would at least be able to boot first!

for text and postscript output, yes, just fine. you will _not_

to get photo-quality you need to use the HP or microsoft driver,

there are patches available to enable ghostscript to use the duplexer

Hello,
I am running RH 6.2 on an Intel box. There's an ide cdrom at

and a Yamaha CDRW at /dev/scd0 with major and minor device numbers of 11

programm report.
I guess that it requires KDE file manager to be running, but I did not

If your array controller has INT13 hooks, you should be able to use
LILO on it. (I have never gotten this to work, but I've been told by
numerous people that it is both possible and trivial.) If Linux has
support for your controller, you should be able to install LILO on
it.

I've found that getting an operating system to boot off a SCSI drive
- much less an array - is more trouble than it's worth. Far easier to
get an old IDE drive, partition only the first 1024 cylinders, and
boot from that.

Thats true to a point. if you find an RPI modem. Its
semi-winmodem, it uses windows driver for error correction, also
believe there was a Msdos driver for a 386 or better system as well.
I works fine but NO error correction without the driver! (I have one,
I KNOW what I am talking about. I have used two of these. 1 Boca Express
14.4K external RPI and one US Robotics Sporster SI. does the SI stand
for "Stupid Idea"? I think so!
I had the SI for a few weeks while my new (at the time of my
BBS) was being ordered. It ran my Opus 1.73a bbs fine but with no
error correction. Several of my users had problems with line noise
when connecting in. Xmodem/Ymodem and Zmodem transfers worked fine
but for typing messages or using the menus the line noise was
sometimes very problematic. I did finally get the Sporster 14.4 with
Fax and hardware compresion. I agreeded to return the SI when I got it
for the refund to be credited towards the hardware modem. My Boca RPI
modem is very similar.
Under PPP both modems work fine as long as you have good
connections. Only diff is, the hardware modems do a better job with
html files. (compression). or occasional line noise (error Correction).
