IE is DB stronger than DF. Because DB is gone. But other arguments can easily be proven or disproven. This is one. Because I have the 1997 versions of Crafty and I have 1997 hardware platforms here. The only thing "missing" is Vincent, where he finally gets a chance to "proof" something in a real test. And he disappears or changes the subject... Maybe one day I will explain to him why the "smaller" BTB on the PIV is actually far better than a larger one that doesn't use the new algorithm. But I'll wait a while. Matt's already explained why 8 bit instructions are not always bad to use on a PIV. Crafty will be quite happy to demonstrate why making outrageous statements can sometimes lead to outrageous embarassment. :) > >On January 14, 2003 at 21:57:16, John Merlino wrote: > >>On January 14, 2003 at 21:04:31, Robert Hyatt wrote: >> >>>On January 14, 2003 at 16:04:28, John Merlino wrote: >>> >>>>On January 14, 2003 at 15:28:37, Bas Hamstra wrote: >>>> >>>>>On January 14, 2003 at 15:03:09, Wayne Lowrance wrote: >>>>> >>>>>>On January 14, 2003 at 14:57:38, Robert Hyatt wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>>>I'm still waiting.
