lekguan 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Well, not on a wintel but on a Opternux (AMD Opteron running Linux) Should work even better than big mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone care to shed some light on it? Rameish: Gonna get you someday!... BTW handlebar on Wed? Tried calling you ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lekguan 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Please! Read the BBC article before grunting! LOL Huh? did I say anything wrong? You said don't try this on wintel. But I'm saying, if you try on AMD Opteron Linux coms might even work better than that "big mac" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 You used the word 'should' & 'might'. Anyway, I'm on the fence as I use both Win & Mac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenson 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 (edited) It may work better, but think of the heat from 1100 AMD computers! I'm not one to go for Mac's but I have to hand it too them, the G5 seems like a niiicce machine! Edited October 14, 2003 by Tenson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lekguan 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 I was thinking, if they used AMD/Intel CPUs, while running on Linux 1) Linux is definitely more stable and secure 2) They can use rackmount server, 1 in front of another, airflow will be great But well, in the meantime, let use enjoy looking at the Big Mac.

N@Z 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 That's one thing you can be sure of. Macs are really nice eye candy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 Lek, you didn't say anything wrong. I just can't compute the idea of anything being better than a Mac. It's got looks, its stable, its backwards compatible, it's just plain sexy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
