ACPI 2.0 specs!
Posted by: J0rdan on: 08/30/2000 10:16 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
ChicksHardware has posted the PR regarding the release of the new ACPI 2.0 specification! Let me hit you with a snippet of what it's going to give us...
ACPI 2.0 adds the support for 64-bit processor addressing to extend the benefits of ACPI to Intel's IA-64 server architecture. The ACPI 2.0 specification also adds the concept of multiple processors and device performance states to enable longer battery life and lower operating temperatures on the platform, such as those currently supported by Intel's mobile Pentium III processor featuring Intel SpeedStep(TM) technology.Cool. Well we had quite an interesting day today didn't we? I wanted to stay home and watch it all unfold, but alas I had to go to work. Where several clients got on my case for hours at a time. Personally, I think the majority of them need to seek mental help.
Enhancements targeted at the server market include support for hot-pluggable CPUs, memory, and PCI, PCI-X devices. The ACPI 2.0 was designed so that the ACPI 1.0 compliant portions of silicon would be compatible with ACPI 2.0.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
