I believe that many of the fast disk controllers have what is really another CPU on them too. It is what does the logic about what to cache. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

I had a dual processor motherboard sporting 200 mHz CPUs on it. NT could make proper use of them, as could Linux, but the ordinary Doze operating systems like 95 and 98 ignored and wasted the second CPU. > Even a single-CPU system has a secondary GPU if one has a > good graphics card.

You must apologize personally to each person who has been offended by your actions. A broad blanket apology simply won't do. >If I say I feel great about it will that make him cry some more? Yes, it is likely to. This is why I know you would never do such a thing, just as I know it was purely an error on your part that caused you to offend the person by continuing to post. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

Some cultures may make things look different but as long as > we accept free will, the choice is there. How do you keep missing the limiting clause in BAH's statement? "...so they would stick around for a while." In fact it is the operative part of her statement. This is a problem in the straightforward parsing of a sentence. The concept isn't complicated. |
