General 8066 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Thanks DosFreak for this one:

Apple has released a new article in the AppleCare Support database that discusses problems associated with copy protected music disks. Apple goes so far as to expressly say that copy protected disks are not CDs, though they resemble them. These copy protected disks carry the warning : Will not play on PC/Mac, and are an attempt by the record labels to curtail piracy by preventing you from copying your CDs, even for your own legitimate use under Fair Use doctrines. According to the article, some Mac users are finding that these disks will actually crash their Macs.

3RD Generation I/O - 3GIO aka PCI Express

General 8066 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

PC Stats has posted an article on 3RD Generation I/O

Since the introduction of the PCI bus back in the early 90’s, very little has changed in the way that data is handled inside your computer. Hard drive, peripherals, LAN cards, sound cards, USB, firewire - all passing data through the same I/O system as your first 486, the PCI bus running at 33mhz and shifting 133MB/s of data. As an example of recent technology, a Pentium 4 with DDR memory can shift 2.1GB/s across the memory bus. The 4x AGP bus can pass about 1GB of data a second. These are technologies developed essentially to get around the limitations of the PCI.
