But you don't know how to trim your replies?
I do; I just like to have sufficient context to eliminate confusion.
And... so what if you have a Class C address block? I musta missed
something in this thread.
Tried to get one lately? I registered mine about 1989 or 1990. ARIN
wasn't even formed until about four years later, which is why they
show a 1994 registration date on 204.128.130.0.
I've probably been involved with computers and Usenet longer than
anyone else in this thread. While my primary email address has changed
a few times over the years, my real name has always been associated
with it.
There is a batch of Socket 370 CPUs that don't multiprocess; if I'm
delusional, so are several other network administrators at work, as
well as Axion and Intel:
http://www.axiontech.com/store/support/cpu_related/Intelstuff.htm
specifically identifies a series of Tualatin devices as not supporting
SMP unless they have 512K of cache, and if you examine Note 9 on the
Pentium III Processor Quick Reference Guide at
http://www.intel.com/design/pentiumiii/qit/update.pdf
you'll find a number of Socket 370 devices not certified for SMP.
But heck, don't let me bother anyone with facts. I'll just continue
crunching; I may yet break 45,000 results before S@h wraps up.
