Quote: "if you build your own boards" You mean design my own computer motherboards?! Excuse me, but that is definitely the task of experts, not computer end users. Yes, I have knowledge about transistors, logic gates and some circuits employing them, but that is NOT enough. Furthermore, even if I were capable and had the resources to design and make my own motherboards, that would not guarantee me that the actual work horses, the CPU cores, were clean.
Quote: "Not everybody uses (recent) x86 :p" I have a functional Pentium 4 (hyperthreading) but I do not use it. The reason is electricity consumption, noise, and above all, lack of performance. -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein) If you cannot make abstructions about details you do not understand the concepts underlying them. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
