What a PPC linux kernel hacker thinks about the Articia : Comment 64 of 68 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Lasse Bodilsen on 17-Jun-2004 19:39 GMT | So basicly what this Benjamin Herrenschmidt is saying, Is that the ArticaS is NOT a buggy chip?
It might be a poor design, a shit component compared to similar Apple parts. But it´s not Buggy?.
Neat, it seems someone was right all along then!
