What is Digg?31 Comments
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21No, we weren't wondering.
- Rice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Backwards compatible, faster speeds, software controlled, virtualization features.
Sounds good.
Except off by a year? What's with that? I don't think this story is timely. - cybermort, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14thats it if i see 2.0 one more time i'm going to have to change my last name... to 2.0
ah and if you are wondering my first name is Jake - ZaNkY, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Well this sucks.... I got duped.... :(

No hard feelings I guess...

You're still cool Gopher. On a more positive note, I'm really looking forward to PCIe 2.0, perhaps paired withwhatever ATi/AMD has cooking in the lab.... :) - nickishappy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6He's referenceing a new scifi show. It's a joke.
- eddie72, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7They never even reached the bandwidth limit of AGP 8x, what makes you think they will wait till they hit the limits of PCI-E 1 ?
It's the onward march of the hardware makers to produce new hardware to keep their companies in business and their pocketbooks full. - blanski, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Every time I think I should build a new computer in a couple of months something like this happens and I want to wait until it comes out... Of course if I always did I would never buy anything... currently waiting for affordable DX 10 cards.
- atrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5They haven't nearly reached the bandwidth.
Its to get you to have to continuously update all your hardware, even if your motherboard and CPU are up to date. Has anyone here every actually benefited from having an integrated gigabit ethernet connection, which of course raises the mobo price?
Technology is advancing too quickly where it doesn't need to, and too slowly where its really needed. (wheres my 45nm CPUs and Solid state 250GB harddrives!) Nvidia will love this, because for the next series card to work with SLI, it needs their chipset they will make it require PCIe V2, and charge extra for it. - geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5On the server side of things, we're very thankful for all this bandwidth(think PCI-e RAID cards and tons of drives), but on the consumer end it doesn't help much.
- DDRRE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Well ZaNkY, if it makes you feel any better, I dugg you up ;)
- tpink, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Actually you're not sharing your network card. If you look under VMware, Virtual PC, Virtual Server, or what have you, you'll notice that your "network card" is in fact, not your network card. VMware products emulate an AMD PCnet adapter and Virtual PC emulates a DEC 21140 Tulip adapter. Doesn't matter what real network card you have, it will always be the same in the virtual machine. I think what they mean is that now you may actually be able to use your real network card in multiple virtual machines. They're both essentially doing the same thing, but there is a difference.
Now the real eye opener in this is if you could share your PCI Express video card. VMware and Virtual PC do the same thing with video cards that they do with network cards. VMware presents their own VMware SVGA adapter and Virtual PC emulates an S3 Trio. Neither one is a true "3D accelerator" card which makes them useless for any games that use DirectX or OpenGL. If you can share your video card, you can finally run something like Windows 98 on a VM and play older games that no longer run on Windows XP, but still use 3D acceleration. This would also allow you to play games on Windows games on Linux through a Windows VM with acceptable performance. - Azio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Could they at least wait until they run out of bandwidth before making us buy new motherboards again?
- retawd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3While many people are going to start minor little rows under this topic about duplication, I'd like to say I am both surprised and impressed to find something tech related on Digg again. Seems like a while since it has had anything but links to Youtube, minor league arguments about OSes (not tech related, just opinion) and minor little "interest" articles about something bad happening to a poor defensless soul.
As far as dupe status please remember a lot of people don't read Digg everyday but use it as a link to possibly interesting information when they have time. No one is making anyone click the link and read the article. - digitalgopher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ ZaNKY
Sorry dude. S**t. my bad. buried as duplicate. - darkstorm777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2lol huh?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5@blanski
Read the description
"And a feature called Input-Output Virtualization is designed to make it easier for multiple virtual machines, each with its own operating system, to share PCI devices such as network cards." - MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Maybe they should try to get the power consumption down instead of upgrading the port all the time to be able to provide more power. When will graphics makers start to market less power hungry cards and more power efficient ones? They have totally missed what Intel and AMD have been doing with their CPUs for the last 1-2 years.
- ch28kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I still have my 8x AGP! AGP still has hope with the new ATI x1950 Pro!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Does it run on AJAX and have rounded corners and a Beta tag?
- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Seems like the New Digg does not catch dupes as much as the old one or it's just ppl who more and more are posting it anyway which is sad. If I post something and find out that it is already posted I Digg that post instead.
- DDRRE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Exactly.
Eventually we'd have to turn off our PCs during the night just like the water boiler, or not use it when we really have to.
I mean, a 1.5GHz core (GPU) takes 32789423649 times the power of a dual 2.4GHz core (CPU) under pressure.
w/e - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't use VMWare, VirtualPC or Virtual Server.
I have a dual-core system, and use the Xen kernel. With `bridge-utils` I can link the card in my main system to a virtual system. Don't tell me what my computer runs. - ZaNkY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't worry about it. Yours already made it to the front page, Burying it won't make any diff. It's cool, seriously. I appreciate the motion though :)
Thanks DDRRE, it does a bit :)
lol - flessa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I was duplicated too :) http://digg.com/hardware/PCIe_2_0_Ratified
- LordSkywalker, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2WTF? Why do you think we'd care what your first name is?
- blanski, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Who cares? Even better, what does that have to do with anything in this topic?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4Um... technically it doesn't turn 2.0 until 2.0 is out into a production environment. That's like saying that i'm 19 before finishing my maturation into a 19 year-old.
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Bought my computer a month ago!
- lsmaster, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2Duplicate
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+4I have been able to share a network card on virtual machines for on Linux for over a year now...
