Who said he used Linux? (yes, this time I actually read over what he said

...he *does* use Linux, you idiot.

There's my editing station as of right now, running fvwm on XFree86 4.3.0, and being bogged down with an assload of processes.

Considering that Cinelerra runs on Linux and FreeBSD only, XFree86 is predominately for UNIX platforms (though a Cygwin Win32 port does exist), and fvwm works best on UNIX boxes...I'm not sure how else to prove this

This is also why AVISynth solutions don't work for me

Wow, I left out the most important part. I need sleep, caffeine and Fuu.

Hope that helps

Considering that I am an official Microsoft Whipping Boy (tm), I would have no way of knowing this.

Thank you for enlightening me.

Isn't a Coppermine the SMP version of the PIII, or is a different architecture, or what?

I know, I'm confused.

The Coppermine was produced on a .18 micron process; the original Pentium III, the Katmai, was produced on a .25 micron process. The Coppermine also adds 256 kB of L2 cache and a 133 MHz bus.

Not sure about SMP, though.

Also I believe the coppermine was the first to copper interconnects.

2CPU reports you can use CuMines in SMP mode.

Trythil, how is the speed of Cinelerra? For doing something like what you're doing there in that picture :O. Looks like some masks and blurs and stuffs.

Also is that a dual monitor setup you have there or virtual desktop

Katmai introduced the SSE instruction set, which was basically an extension of MMX that again improved the performance on 3D apps designed to use the new ability. Also dubbed MMX2, SSE contained 70 new instructions, with four simultaneous instructions able to be performed simultaneously. This original Pentium III worked off what was a slightly improved P6 core, so the chip was well suited to multimedia applications. The chip saw controversy, though, when Intel decided to include integrated "processor serial number" (PSN) on Katmai. the PSN was designed to be able to be read over a network, even the internet. The idea, as Intel saw it, was to increase the level of security in online transactions. End users saw it differently. They saw it as an invasion of privacy. After taking a hit in the eye from the PR perspective and getting some pressure from their customers, Intel eventually allowed the tag to be turned off in the BIOS. Katmai eventually saw 600 MHz, but Intel quickly moved on to the Coppermine.

In April of 2000, Intel released their Pentium III Coppermine. While Katmai had 512 KB of L2 cache, Coppermine had half that at only 256 KB. But, the cache was located directly on the CPU core rather than on the daughtercard as typified in previous Slot 1 processors. This made the smaller cache an actual non-issue, because performance benefited. Coppermine also took on a 0.18 micron design and the newer Single Edge Contact Cartridge 2 (SECC 2) package. With SECC 2, the surrounding cartridge only covered one side of the package, as opposed to previous slotted processors. What's more, Intel again saw the logic they had when they took Celeron over to Socket 370, so they eventually released versions of Coppermine in socket format. Coppermine also supported the 133 MHz front side bus. Coppermine proved to be a performance chip and it was and still is used by many PCs. Coppermine eventually saw 1+ GHz

Congratulations, that's what I said
