Re: "We should trust nothing he has said on this forum."

Interesting quote coming from you Ali. Still a bitter little man aren't you. You just got through accusing someone else of falsifying a post when it was you who couldn't read. You didn't know where the cache controller was in a P6 system but argued foolishly anyway. You insisted the 440LX was the slowest Intel chipset upon introduction and them like a fool, you proved it by showing it was only a little faster than the fastest. You thought the AGP port was a PCI to PCI bridge and belittled another who had it right. You have set a standard here for errors that has only been exceeded by the late FuchiWu-RayW-Sherlie-IncestorA. If you were stupid it would be excusable, you're not stupid just foolish. That's worse.

Ali,
Are you suggesting that Elmer was responsible for the K5? No wonder he's bitter. That was one loser chip.

a loser remains the loser, just more hostile."

Thank you for the Self-Portrait.

It is extremely accurate.

Ali, too bad AMD had to drop Elmer and the 29K series. A decade ago, I helped design a supercomputer based on the 29325 floating point chips, 29332 ALU, 29321 sequencer. Who knows, maybe I even met Elmer touting the double precision 20 MHz version of the '325, which never came out! Anyone else remember these chips?
