> The game in question causing most problems for performance was id Software's Quake. Unlike previous 3D games, Quake used the pipelined Pentium FPU to do perspective correction calculations in the background while texture mapping, effectively doing two tasks at once. This would not have been a big problem for the 6x86 if, by that time, Quake had a fallback to do perspective correction without the FPU as in, for example, the game Descent. However, id Software chose not to include this. Quake also lacked the option to disable perspective correction, thus eliminating that potential speed boost for FPU-weak CPUs. This potential speed boost would have benefited not just Cyrix's users, but also users of AMD's K5 and especially of the 486. Quake's optimization for the Pentium went beyond FPU usage and catered to a number of other architectural quirks specific to the Pentium, further hindering performance of other CPUs even outside FPU operations. This bias in favor of the Pentium served to boost the popularity of Intel's Pentium CPUs amongst the gaming community.

iAPX

IA64

Nobody but Intel know yet, because they only announced them a few weeks back. 12k people is 11% of their workforce though, so you can be sure there's going to be engineering layoffs included in that. They'll probably close some plants & design offices, maybe shuffle some headcount around, but they'll almost certainly lose some engineers. The Itanium group would be an obvious candidate for slashing some headcount.

They cause severe eyestrain with extended use and make your eyes feel like baked potatoes. Using them with white workspaces is almost like staring into a lightbulb. Low refresh rates on CRT also subtly strain your brain in a way modern monitors don't because they have no persistence.

while fw900 had 121kHz/160Hz (1152x720@160Hz) bandwidth, a handful of other 4:3 monitors like from Iiyama could reach the realms around 140kHz/180Hz (1024x768@180Hz).

AFAIK it doesn't work, or at least I never managed to get it to work. A friend found it on the side of the road and thought I might be interested lol.

For the record it's an old HP Visualize C200, not particularly unique or anything, and only 200MHz.

Also got a pair of Sun E450s... Managed to install OpenBSD on the nicer one (NetBSD running on everything is bullshit, their spare support is garbage). Had no real use for it though due to being old and slow and using tons of electricity.

weird, I've got a similar box to yours (C110) and it doesn't work either, still kind of cool though, in my experience even one of those is kind of unique, PA-RISC is easily the least common of the major RISC architectures from my personal experience

>Had no real use for it though due to being old and slow and using tons of electricity.
yeah, U450s are cool and you could probably get some use out of them in a home setting as a box for remote access/web/other non-compute heavy tasks but you'd be better served by either a lower-end system from the same era like an UE1/2/150 or a newer workstation/Sun Fire

I run a V100 for most of my unix-y jobs, it looks nice and doesn't put out a lot of heat, but does a great job for what I do on it, the only thing I don't like about it is the use of IDE drives which means you get fucked by the 128 GB controller limit

>>54247181
the price used to be justified, back at the height of high-end RISC that shit was practically alien technology, you wouldn't buy anything but an SGI box for graphical work, a Sun system for development, an Alpha for raw power, and so on

PCs started really bridging that gap around the early 2000s or so and were competent enough to take over the baseline of most of the core markets of classic workstation vendors, which were pretty strapped for cash and innovation already; SGI was rehashing the R10000 over and over again, Sun the same with the UltraSPARC, Alpha didn't have the fastest clocks anymore, IBM and HP were always niche as fuck to begin with

>>54247340
SPARC and POWER systems are so niche that it really doesn't matter as much anymore, datacenters aren't full of those things, they're off in the corner doing mission-critical shit where a little downtime or loss in performance will cost you far more than an extra $300 a month on your power bill
>>
>>54247340
SPARC is cool as shit. What is it? 8 threads per core, with an 8 core chip? No overhead encryption? Pretty nifty iron, too bad you have to gobble Oracles big fat one down
>>
>>54247447
>8 threads per core, with an 8 core chip
What is this, 2007? The newest SPARC chips are running on 32 cores now.

No, this was for putting Pentium-Ms (Banias, Dothan) into Pentium 4 Northwood/Prescott socket (479). Was popular with fags that didn't like P4 but were too snobbish to get Athlon 64.

>>54246642
>>54247630
It's not either of those, it's an adapter to allow you to use newer Socket 478 Pentium 4s in the older Socket 423, since otherwise you were shafted with no upgrade options better than a 2 GHz Willamette.

I don't believe Pentium Ms are pin-compatible with a Pentium 4, let alone chipset-compatible.

Look at all that fucking cooling

That is some powerful shit.

You can't even destroy it by throwing it in lava. It will remain at a steady 39 degrees celcius.

Ah, I did know about those 423 adaptors, but didn't check properly.

Adapters for sc479 were a thing, but IIRC they were a bit more complex, not straightforward stuff like sc370 era slockets.

I recall there were even AMD slot A slockets, but they were not reliable.

>>54247754
You only had 70mm fans on socket 754/939 coolers. Pentium II/III slot 1 coolers and socket 370 as well used 50mm ones. I had a few. Socket A boxed heatsinks for Athlon XPs used 60mm ones.

The plastic was just from back side. Front was black-painted aluminium heatsink. I think some might have plastic shroud over that, maybe you had that.

I had a very similar mobo to that, but mine was an AOpen board. It had the same chipset and features. I definitely want to get an ATX board once I upgrade to the AMD Zen platform or maybe Intel. I'm so sick of having a budget mATX board in a normal sized case.

>>54247536
Back in my tripfag days I endlessly posted pictures of my Athlon machine here (in a spray painted fluorescent green case) while anons tried to insist it was a Pentium III. I had a Pentium III-based Celeron machine for 10 years as well. It was a Tualatin at 1.3 GHz, so it stayed useful until I fucked up the motherboard doing something to it.

I'm taking a Computer Organization class this semester and we have to learn how to write basic programs in assembly on different architectures. We did the ARC, which is a simpler subset of the SPARC. Everything is done in registers. The ARC has 32 and the SPARC has 128 registers. The x86 has a lot less (EAX-EDX and the stack, segment, pointer registers, etc.), but it's easier to work with stacks, arrays, arithmetic ops, etc. since so much is built in. Judging by simplicity, SPARC would have to be faster since it is totally RISC. I hated doing stuff on the ARC though.
