Intel gets round Windows boot floppy problem

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Intel is about to introduce a new BIOS update process for its newer mobos which gets around the difficulty users of Windows 2000 and ME have in creating a bootable floppy.

With the new Express BIOS Update, users will be able to update the BIOS on an Intel mobo from within Windows. The utility is around 1MB in size and certainly sounds foolproof. After downloading it from Intel´s support Web site, three mouse clicks take the user through an installation wizard and the system then automatically shuts down, updates the BIOS and reboots.

And last Thursday, the Redmond giant previewed its planned transition from a Windows-centric world to what it used to describe as Next Generation Windows Services and now calls .Net - a platform that will both provide subscription-based software services to users over the internet and deliver a programming infrastructure to developers.

Intel´s new chip to be called Pentium 4

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Intel will call Willamette, its next-generation processor, the Pentium 4.

Willamette, or Pentium 4, is the chip that will succeed the Pentium III. The chip in many ways will be a landmark release for the chipmaker. For one thing, Willamette, and a related chip for servers code-named "Foster," will feature an entirely new architecture, which will give the company room to innovate or tap new features.

For more than five years, new Intel microprocessors have all relied on the same basic architecture. The Pentium Pro, which came out in October 1995, effectively features the same "P6" design as the Pentium II, the Celeron, Xeon processors and the Pentium III.

General 8068 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

So while the Web browser market might be a two-horse race, one of the contestants can no longer even be considered competition. Netscape´s browser share has fallen steadily since the release of IE 3 in 1996, and Microsoft pulled even with its rival with the release of IE 4 in 1997.
