McAfee sold to Intel for $7.68.
These are two companies I do not like. They are the center of everything bundled with crummy computers. They are the generic item that everyone gets with their new “outa the box” machine. And since so many people have these two, everyone assumes they are the best. ” More people buy Intel than AMD so it must be better” . Well no it’s bundled more often because it’s mass production junk.
Think about it, more people in the world shop at wally mart…………. Why? because it’s there. and convenient.
Mcafee is bundled in everything you buy.
Remember when AOL disks showed up in your mail on a weekly basis? People actually installed it years after broadband became common.
Mcafee calls it’s self an “antivirus” truth is, there is no such thing. There is just software that tell you when you have an active virus on your computer… The virus scanner installs it’s self so deep that you the computer owner can’t unintsall it. So most virus programs are written to attach themselves to the “antivirus program”. This in turn causes the “antivirus” to ignore the virus, because removal of the virus would be suicidal for the antivirus. So let’s just call it a “virus alerter”.
This merger/sell is just a nice way to get all the garbage in one spot.
Now I have to go use a-squared to remove 1829 trojans off of my bosses computer. Neat how symantec 360 has only detected (or notified me of ) one virus while 1728 variations of the virus are directly attached to symantec.
That was a very busy month for tech news. Lots of great things came, some not so great but that is almost unnoticeable. Looks like good news for the gaming world all the way around. Bad news for the business phones. Then again, no one really used palm anymore anyway.

AMD CPU ON ZDNET
Ok, dur. This thing will go from it’s normal everyday regular processes to run another process that is self focused? are you kidding me? why add more work to your work horse? are they that dang impressed by dodges Himi that drops from 8 Cylinders down to six when in highway gear?? IT’S NOT THE SAME THING!!!!!! STOP IT . AMD has been on a downward spiral for a couple years. Now they have put the nail in the coffin. They really should have left it at six cores and then release the information that you yourself can adjust it closer to what they state on Zdnet. I mean AMD has always be the DIY processor anyway…. Right? Well they need to give the users what they want.. and for that matter, Nvidia freaks….. bring coolbits back! (I know AMD and ATI yadda yadda it’s my post let me vent)
I have used amd clock 2.01 since I first heard about it back when I was on windows xp.
The thing always shows how much of my processor is being used. It did not show me what I kind of wanted to see
like how much I have and how much is left ( cpu resources).
Well I am now on Windows seven after trying many variants of xp and many variants of vista.
So far windows seven is “Alright” but really. I have many issues with the O/S.
Just a three weeks ago, on vista it would show 1.9 ghz until I would actually utilize some of the
resources of the cpu. Then it would crank up to the max. I find this weird now
That it shows my min as greater than my max, and when I use my processor it shows I have greater
cpu power.
Amd And Overclocking on Windows seven, hmm might = POP
I have an AMD 5600 processor, it’s a 2.9 cpu.
I think amd needs to update it’s clock tool, or windows seven is doing weird stuff.
looks like passmark just updated today .
Steak and Bj day of all days.
Seems they are married people. lol
That’s the Assgot Ring Effect
put a ring on her finger and her assgot bigger and her mouth got smaller.
but here is the scores from their site.
High End Cpu scores
Mid Range Cpu Scores
Low End Cpu Scores
Common Processors
Now For the one we really wanted to see.
Over Clocked Processors
Looks to me as of today 3/14/09 Amd Is the best “right out of the box” central Processing Units
but when you overclock, Intel i7 stomps.. Very good job guys, thanks for the scores.
