Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison Who cares if the Busses are seperate you still have a logjam at the Memory Controller. It's not a perfect solution to have two memory controllers, like in a NUMA architecture, because then each processor …

Even if what you say is true, 20,000 is still 3 1/2 solid, 24-hour-a-day years of use. -- Mark

Quote: Originally posted by StealthRider i wouldn't, the iPods drive isn't made to take that kind of constant use, music doesnt strain it as much as DV would. Why do you say that? It's a general-purpose drive packaged in a music player, not …

Quote: Originally posted by Tidris The G5 isn't fast because it has 64-bit instructions. True as far as it goes, but 64-bit instructions will make the G5 faster for doing 64-bit math than a 32-bit machine. -- Mark

Quote: Originally posted by hawkman [B]A more interesting question to me is, would this DDR4000 500Mhz memory allow the 1Ghz G5 bus to reach full speed? I assume the interleaved 400Mhz RAM (800Mhz effective speed) that comes with the machine…

Quote: Originally posted by flyhigher What is the CAS latency of the OEM g5 RAM? Is it 2.5? 3? Would someone with a G5 check.... hopefully it is marked on the chips. Is it worth it to use (more expensive) CAS-2 RAM like this? You can de…

Quote: Originally posted by lundy Right ... but it's a function call, so I don't see how the compiler can move it outside the loop - the compiler has no way to know whether the function (factorial) is going to return a different number each time,…

Seems like we're quietly retracing the evolution of benchmarking here. I hope it's obvious that this won't tell us nearly as much, even, as SPEC numbers... -- Mark

Where does the dual 2 GHz G5 fit on that rumor list? -- Mark

Quote: Originally posted by Transcendental Octothorpe I think I might have shortend the math by changing the "long long" variables to just "long". I had to do that because VC++ told me that "long long" was illegal. Yes, that will speed it up, …

Quote: Originally posted by chrismusaf You know, I've been looking closely at the G5 innards, in all its glory, and it would be great to have some RAM with a blue PCB to match the motherboard. Does anyone know where I can get some? Someone coul…

Quote: Originally posted by Gabid If the Terminal doesn't scare me off I'll give this a run when I get home this evening. Out of curiosity, what does "chmod 755" do exactly? chmod is used to change permissions. There are two ways to use it, …

Quote: Originally posted by Gargoyle Funnily enough, running the g5 version on my iMac gives "Illegal Instruction" Yeah, well, you enabled 64-bit code generation, so that's going to produce operations your machine won't run. -- Mark

Quote: Originally posted by iSegway heatpipes are most efficient in a vertical position.. I wonder how much efficiency they lose going out to the side here. Unless it's solid copper, in which case orientation doesn't matter. (I'm assuming th…

Quote: Originally posted by lundy I have a Premier membership. But the patch for 3.3 only installs on Jaguar. I thought the Panther Xcode tools included a G5-aware version of 3.3? (I don't personally know, as I stopped renewing my develo…

Quote: Originally posted by lundy So far, there have not been any unexpected or anomalous results in this test I wouldn't go THAT far. I'm surprised, for example, that my Athlon 1.4 GHz was only 5% slower (or so) than the 2.8 GHz Xeon at work…
