Even some of Intel's clever things with Atom and i7 are much less exciting than they used to be. Boring is good! It implies a satisfactory situation with only marginal improvements desired. You'd rather have drama? Major shortfall? For the last 10+ years, computers have been more limited by software than by hardware. Damn you AMD lovers! 8) ...because we pushed Intel into making hardware boring? ;-) Quite probably. Without competition, a monopoly tends to go slow on innovation. For example, pre-breakup AT&T. -- Robert |

I'm no longer working in the industry, which makes developments there even more boring. ;-) Boring is good! It implies a satisfactory situation with only marginal improvements desired. You'd rather have drama? Major shortfall? We still have WinBlows for drama. No, there is quite some room for improvement. It seems that improvement isn't in the cards, though. For the last 10+ years, computers have been more limited by software than by hardware. Bingo! Damn you AMD lovers! 8) ...because we pushed Intel into making hardware boring? ;-) Quite probably. Without competition, a monopoly tends to go slow on innovation. For example, pre-breakup AT&T. Yep. Now look at how many alternatives there are to POTS, even if the Baby bells are coalescing back into mommy. |

Not just high- end graphics, but also integrated graphics. It's starting to look like integrated graphics is becoming more seriously capable of playing games now. For the last 10+ years, computers have been more limited by software than by hardware. There's also interesting things going on in the Linux world. It's getting quite a bit easier to use Linux with any hardware out there. Yousuf Khan |

But there's no longer the passion, the flaming, that went-on in the old days, when 3dfx was around... 8) There's also interesting things going on in the Linux world. It's getting quite a bit easier to use Linux with any hardware out there. Indeed. And the omnipresence of the Evil Empire stokes some interesting discussions. |
