skimming a sunday dallas newspaper (print version) yesterday showed mostly ddr,
but compusa (we got it. we get it.) has more ddr2 pieces.

no ecc in the newspaper nor p3, that i noticed

there's an elsewhere?  :)

profiling uses code branches taken, loops, locality, and?, but maybe not (yet?)
processor instructions, though i guess they often interact.


        [ ddr2 new ]

where's it comin' from?

does your mail software use mail priority headers (bulk, normal, etc)?

hm.
