I've used SuSE Linux 7 pro, Caldra Open Linux 2.0, and Linspire 4.9.x. However, since Linspire seems to be the only Linux distro which agrees with my system ATM, I use that.
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

1) P4-M has seriously low memory bandwidth, especially at 1.4ghzNoxious African-American wrote:No shit?

2) The KDEENABLEFINAL flag, when passed to GCC (as a CFLAG) , speeds up compile time dramatically.
3) Mon Apr 11 21:47:40 2005 >>> kde-base/kdebase-3.3.2-r2
merge time: 45 minutes and 18 seconds.
Owned fucker. The rest of the packages varied from 3 - 15 minutes, with a total merge time of less than 2.5 hours on that very same AXP.

P4-M?
Perhaps you mean P3-M?

Well the poster above wasn't refering to Pentium 4 Mobile, he's referring to the Pentium-M. The Pentium-M is a low power version of Pentium 3 with MMX, SSE and SSE2 instruction set support.funkyass wrote:there was a mobile P4 before Intel dumprf that bad anal experience known as rambusNach wrote:P4-M?

Just because it is based on a modified p3 architecture does not mean it is not referred to as a P3-M. I work for an authorized intel provider and guess what, both the intel reps and our local reps refer to it as a P4-M.Nach wrote:P4-M?

So eat me.
But if he meant an older Pentium-M, then my bad, big deal, however my point remains, because the OLDER p-M did not have the performance boost that the new line does. He compared it to an AXP , which makes me think NEW.

Haha. Pentiums have a higher clock speed, but they make up for this in being shitty in everything else. *rolleyes*Noxious Nìgger wrote:No shit?

The latest line of mobile pentiums are very good performers, Aerdan. A 2ghz P(4)M (adjust at your discretion), aside from memory bandwidth, would whoop a p4 2.6ghz.
