Windows Millennium Rumors

Posted by: JC on: 01/28/2000 08:33 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]

Well, several people have mailed (and now posted in the Win2k article comment section) that they have heard rumors that Windows Millennium will have SMP support. This is not true. However, I think I know where the rumor comes from: I have heard tales of a developer who experimented with his own kernel that supports SMP. While I haven't seen it, I am told it was buggy, unstable, worked with only a couple of motherboards, and is not ready for primetime, nor will it ever be. Take this with a grain of salt, because rumors like this are thrown around all the time. I'm 100% sure that Millennium will NEVER have SMP support. I just got a hold of Beta 2 of Millennium, and I'll be checking it out over the weekend. One thing I can tell you is that Millennium won't let you install over the top of Win2k.

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
