WARNING! 5.9.10 is in beta testing... and is unstable, and (probably) contains bugs! Use only if you have no choice! (like you run Win XP Pro x64, or Win Vista x64... where 5.9.10 is the only official 64 bit version available) (there is a 64 bit version of 5.4.11 out there... but it's not from Berkeley) Not only that! I'm not sure, but It seems as there isn't any S@H client for that version! Probably, on 64 bit platforms, you'll be able to use 32 bit applications (on "compatibility" emmulation or similar). yes, you can... no emulation required... (the OS shifts the 64 bit chip back and forth between 64 and 32 bit modes) all 64 bit InteÃ‚Â£ and AMD chips still have the full 32 bit instructions, after all... (as well as 16 bit and 8 bit instructions!) There's just a touch of overhead for the CPU to make the mode change... . Hello, from Albany, CA!... ID: 569069 ·

Good idea!... mhhh... mhhh... Have they space enought? I remember that those servers went off to let space enought for Thumper, Sidious, bla, bla, bla. Maybe they need a new cabin. Umm, as I understand it, they've been assigned certain rooms by UC Berkeley, and can't expand out of them! . Hello, from Albany, CA!... ID: 569071 ·

Last modified: 17 May 2007, 2:43:01 UTC Hey, anyone (other than me) ever see a 186? I still have one, although it hasn't done anything for a couple of years... Yes, I've seen a 186. I also was the product definition team leader for a few months in 1978. For those with short memories, that was long before the IBM PC came out, which may help you understand that winning desktop PC sockets was no part of our goal at the time. From the beginning, the idea was of a "highly integrated" 8086, with the goal of system cost reduction. Originally this was understood to include a fair amount of onboard ROM (a la 8048). Happily that went by the wayside after I left the product definition effort (I had trouble making people understand that because of die size/yield issue, the CPU was the [by]most expensive[/b] possible place in the system to put ROM). Oddly enough, the integration feature of the 186 which proved most useful got little attention and less respect at the time. I suggested that chip select was a universal small system function that might benefit from integration, and Jim Klovstad figured out an implementation that actually got used in a fair fraction of systems. A few generations ago, I think many of the Garmin GPS units used a 186 implementation (probably a CMOS nth generation, not the original depletion-load NMOS one), so you may have been closer to a 186 than you realize.

Iam new to SETI and was a hard core cruncher.... bit worried about losing grade in the stats list... I have a problem... Work datas are being downloaded... but not completed... Can anyone tell me what happened??? Niranjan More than likely this is simply related to remaining issues from the outage. WUs have been assigned to you, but the connection for the actual download can't be established due to the traffic, etc. Just be patient, the team is clearly working hard and the best thing we can do is be patient and not update/retry all the time since that only compounds the problem. Thanks a lot... Got a new WU.... ID: 569230 ·
