There's something a bit screwy about the way your messages are encapsulated here, when I recieve them the message body is appearing as an .txt attachment. I haven't seen that happen from anyone elses mail (and I get a lot of email from numerous lists). MIME formatted mail is generally bad on majordomo email lists anyways, as it looks like heck on the digest version.

The VIA chipsets (like the ones used in the Abit KG7-Lite) are generaly faster. Unfortunatly, the AMD760MP is the only available dual athlon chipset (for now). The 760MPX is stated to be released soon and should address some of the latency problems. The BIOS on the TigerMP is also a let down. My previous system was a Abit BP6 (dual celeron) and it had all sorts of options for ram timing, bus speed increments of 1Mhz, voltage tweaks, everything required for tuning. The TigerMP has nothing. The rumours that the AthlonXP chips don't operate in SMP mode are false (with the TigerMP anyways). The XP's are all Palomino cores just like the Athlon MP's. It seems like just another silly marketing trick by AMD. That all said, this computer is crazy fast. --=20 Matthew Ashton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sweet Links http://www.pez.ca/ --UlVJffcvxoiEqYs2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE7y1Pz7z3L+guva8IRAjz8AJwPWn5tytZh7BZEs8BuZ79jVIhrLgCfVplT UFefs75yxkNdDsr6QlR1pcY= =UFRR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --UlVJffcvxoiEqYs2-- _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
