Articia I : Comment 45 of 73 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kronos on 03-Jan-2004 02:44 GMT | In reply to Comment 44 (Kjetil): The Articia-prob is with DMA, and switching of DMA will therefore cure it, not matter
wether there is another prob in the VIA or not.
"Bus-centric" is a nice buzz-word, and it might even be that MAI were the 1st to implement
it on the PPC as they claim, but that was 3-4 years ago, and others (IBM,Marvell,Apple)
have long catched up and passed by. Don't even think about comparing it with anything
in the x86-world that was produced in the last 3 years....
@Amon_Re
Problem is that Ben has allready several times prooven that he completly lacks technical
understanding, and can only repeat what others have told him (>1GB/sec on SDR-133
anyone ? ). This behaviour (of the Articia) is what has kept it from being commercially used
for ~3 years (and now a few 100 or 1000 boards for an obscure retro-community don't count), there is
still not a single OS actually supporting it, and wasn't even documented officially until recently.
So discussing wether it is a bug or feature is a mere technicallity, commercially it has allready
prooven itself to be a fatal bug. |
