Item was bent on arrivalPros: Currently inside house and picking up quiet a few channels. Will be mounting on roof soon. Cons: Just wish the packaging from the manufacture was better. Box was bent and antena was bent as well. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good AntennaPros: I live about 35 miles from transmitters in Phila OTA market. Mounted this in attic and pulled in over 25 channels as strong signals WITHOUT a preamp and from one compass direction. With preamp, I expect another 10+ channels. Cons: Elements and plastic clips are fragile; be careful opening and mounting. Other Thoughts: This is a good high VHF/UHF antenna. Not for low VHF, but then since digital transition, most low VHF broadcasters have moved to UHF. Check DTV.gov. Signal quality and strength is better than cable AND HDTV is free.

Peanut butter has permanently found its place in my heart and on my shopping list for as long as I can remember. Between using it as a dip for my Oreos and eating it right out of the jar, I consume it on a daily basis. Here's a treat for the peanut butter lovers around the world.
While visiting San Diego, my boyfriend and a fellow peanut butter lover, insisted we check out Spread (a restaurant/store that sells homemade peanut butter). His friend, who goes by the nickname of "the connoissur of pleasure", had suggested the establishment. With a nickname like his, I had nothing but high expectations. As far as I am concerned his alias is valid. Spread provides tons and tons of variations of the gooey goodness! We are talking gourmet style peanut butter. We bought close to 15 variations. From White Chocolate Pretzel, to Chile Mango, to Cookies and Cream…they have endless options of pb! Not to mention plenty of combinations that you wouldn't even imagine mixing with homemade peanut butter but tastes surprisingly good. My personal favorites were the White Chocolate Pretzel spread and the German Chocolate spread. Both had the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Although, I am partial to Cookies and Cream since it is my favorite guilty pleasure blended together in a jar. Whether you are a fellow foodie or just peanut butter obsessed, check out the not so typical jars and order it here. Spread also offers themed packages of different peanut butter combos that make for a great gift!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Investigators have confiscated more than $13.6 million worth of phony sports merchandise in the past five months and expect to seize more in New Orleans during Super Bowl week, a federal law-enforcement official said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton said authorities also have shut down more than 300 websites selling counterfeit goods as part of an enforcement effort dubbed " Operation Red Zone." The operation targeted international shipments of jerseys, hats and other souvenirs entering the U.S. for sale by stores, flea markets and street vendors.
And federal investigators say they have intelligence that shows even the Mexican drug cartels are getting involved in the counterfeit NFL black market because they can make quick money by selling fake jerseys in flea markets and parking lots.
In September, for example, the newly created federal trade-enforcement unit seized dozens of counterfeit San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins jerseys around New Mexico. Agents have also raided flea markets in El Paso, Texas, and seized NFL jerseys that federal agents say were linked to cartels in northern Mexico and local gangs such as Barrio Azteca.

Today my new p5q deluxe arrived to replace my p5n-t which had recently died. What happened was over time it started crashing more and more frequently until it no longer POSTed. There were no beeps what so ever so I presumed the worst, that it died. Anyway after fitting the new motherboard I get the same problem no post whatsoever although everything spins up properly. DrPepper recently tested the power supply and the GPU in his pc and they worked fine and I cannot think what is wrong. I read a guide here suggesting that no beeps was the sign of a dead mobo. What do you think is wrong and what do you recommend ?
If it's the exactly same problem, then one of the pieces of hardware has died. If it's not PSU,GPU or motherboard then it's possibly memory or HDD (dunno how it could cause that but it's the only other piece of hardware.) And well, just check your CPU to be on the safe side.
It could possibly be your motherboard, but I would try it with a different CPU first. Or maybe, reset the CMOS and/or check the clear CMOS jumper and make sure it isn't set to clear. I think they ship motherboards with that jumper set to clear to conserve the battery, but I could be wrong.
Just a thought...you have no beeps a boot...did you connect a speaker to the four pin connector on the momma board. Just asking. Pull the battery and disconnect psu, reinstall after a few minutes, then connect psu and turn on. Got a feeling it is mem or cpu. Has to be something common to all boards.
Try disconnecting everything apart from wots needed to get the mobo & gpu powered up. It maybe a cd drive or something. I once had probs with a pc crashing & shutting down turned out to be the LCD clock/CPU temp gauge. Once i unpluged the power to that prob gone !
sounds like you have a VERY bad luck with that new board or something else died. could be kinda difficult to spot the problem due to you have to own various HW. but It's the only way. a died CPU/RAM can cause zero beeps. so you must discard your CPU/RAM/Vid Card before blaming the mobo again. If you OC your system there are high chances that some of that HW reaches it's lifespan.
Used my cpu and RAM and psu and gpu and HDD's I think its bad luck because his other mobo worked fine for a few months.
My first thought would be some other piece of hardware caused it but I had 3 bad boards (one after the other) once from ASUS so its possible I guess.
Did you just RMA them all the time? I had a bad Asus board once and because of it I lost my 1st one as well.
so far i look over and as Dr pepper said , i believe it to be a DOA. I made a thread about 2 weeks ago asking for help on strange developing problems with my P5NT deluxe . The sound would die at random. The internet would cut at the port and crashes on the bios were not uncommon. This lead me to buy the P5Q. tests on all devices were carried out , they were fine. bad luck the final solution?
Maybe the problem is between the monitor and the chair lol. will you test all your parts in another pc? maybe some hardware is killing your MB.
I put the pc together and I've never killed any of my own or anyone elses hardware. I tested most of the stuff in his pc except cpu and they all worked fine. I didn't test his cpu because mine didn't work in either of his dead mobo's.

Density of a proposed Aberdeen hotel has more than doubled to 230 units, a number that doesn't include another 88 "long-term stay" building.
The site is the former Home Hardware location at Pacific Way and Hugh Allan Drive.
PHI Hotel Group has submitted plans to the City for a Marriott-branded hotel to be built in phases. The first phase would see a 114-room hotel. Next would come another 114-unit hotel and associated 180-seat restaurant.
And finally the developers want to build an 88-unit long-term stay project on the site.
PHI operates Hampton Inn and Comfort Inn in Kamloops.
City planners are supporting a zoning amendment for the former hardware store property. Kamloops council will be asked Tuesday whether to send the plans to a public hearing.
City community development supervisor Randy Lambright said the site has good road access and is nearby other units in "hotel alley" in Aberdeen.
"It's a good location. It's a highway-commercial corridor."
The long-term hotel designation is a new concept for a Kamloops hotel. Current bylaws limit length of stay to four weeks a year.
But Lambright said the hotelier wants flexibility to bring in workers who might be here for several months, for example.

Speaking with Gaming Examiner, game director Neil Druckmann, however, promised multiplayer support for the title was in the works, but he failed to elaborate on what it would entail. The firm's Uncharted series contained various multiplayer modes outside of the core game, so it's possible gamers may see both competitive and cooperative in some capacity. Thanks, Shack.

2013 has seen plenty of changes to paid search, mainly driven by Google. For a brand in a competitive market like insurance, little tweaks here and there matter.
Changes include the addition of Google's own comparison products to the SERPs, meaning less visibility for organic results, enhanced campaigns, and changes to the style of PPC ads.
I've been asking Heledd Jones, head of search marketing at Confused.com (and an Econsultancy guest blogger), about the challenges presented by these changes, and her thoughts on how PPC will evolve in the next year.

Over the last four months, Google has been ramping up its publicity of a more aggressive target for mobile site performance: sub one second page load times.
Enforcement of this aspiration comes from Google's usual source: algorithmic rewards for sites achieving this goal. You just need to look at how industry commentary has exploded around site speed issues over the last couple of years to see the impact this strategy has had.
I fully expect to see this industry focus switch to mobile-specific commentary through 2014.
Let's take a look at the evidence, and the SEO opportunity...

A paid search algorithm update by Google has led to an improvement in the performance of PPC adverts that include an ad extension.
But overall the new AdWords Ad Rank update actually caused a slight decline in ad performance.
The update, which was announced back in October, altered the way that Google determines the order of paid search ads by adding in a third variable alongside the maximum bid and quality score.
This new variable is the expected impact of ad extensions and formats, and it has apparently had a notable impact on PPC results. So in effect, the use of ad extensions and formats can now influence ad position in the SERP.
The elements that are considered when determining the potential impact of extensions and ad formats include relevance, click-through rates, and the prominence of extensions and results on the SERP.
The results of the study are summarised below, but firstly here's a run through of the ad extensions that Google takes into account.

When taking over any PPC account, it is essential to learn from historical performance swiftly in order to make the best possible start to a campaign.
In this example account there was a clear disparity between the best and worst hours / days of the week.
This suggested that a more aggressive ad scheduling strategy was required to bring the account to an even keel (and to perform as efficiently as possible) over the course of the day and week.

'Nofollow' tags are an HTML attribute that tells search engines not to pay any attention to links that appear on a webpage.
It was created in 2005 by the major search engines as a way of combatting link spam and dodgy SEO practices, though its impact in helping to win that fight is debatable.
Recently I've had a few conversations around the use of nofollow tags so thought it would be helpful to give an overview of why they're important and in what context they should be used.

I worked on a conference talk called Ban the Blog with a colleague about a year ago. It was a purposefully provocative title and an extreme view, but one I believe many businesses and website owners need to heed (yes, I get the irony of writing this on a blog platform, but hopefully you'll see past that minor contradiction).
Blogs can often become a content dumping ground and despite the rising influence of structured content strategies into the broad digital direction, let's start a blog' is still a statement that is regularly touted in planning sessions.
But creating a blog and chronologically presenting what you produce isn't necessarily the answer to your content needs.
Putting your content in date order may make sense in some instances (and with some CMS platforms it's your only option), but just because it's your latest, it isn't necessarily your greatest or the most relevant for your audience.

I hate the word granular. I spend half my life tweaking and fiddling with PPC campaigns across different platforms.
The word granular invariably means spending even more time setting up campaigns. The problem is, the only way to achieve, monitor and maintain success in PPC is by going granular. The same holds true for Google Product Listing Ads.
I first went granular with my bog standard AdWords search network text ads soon after starting out in PPC. I went granular with my Product Listing Ads at a much later stage however.
When I first setup Product Listing Ads (PLAs) I had to do so with the assistance of the official Google documentation and a few third party guides. It's all a bit fiddly.
Most of these guides seemed to encourage large ad groups for one reason or another. Against my better judgement I just went along with it, wasting thousands of pounds in the process.

Along with a number of genuine national holidays, the end of November and beginning of December are a time for consumers to enjoy a time of frantic spending as we commemorate fictional occasions created by retailers to help make a few extra sales.
These special shopping days always have awful buzzword names that initially mean very little to anyone outside of the marketing industry, but eventually come to be used in every day conversation due to the good work of PRs and the national media.
Off the back of Thanksgiving we've just enjoyed Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which heralded the usual surge in online spending and unseemly squabbling in stores.
And here are some interesting stats detailing just how much was spent during the annual sales bonanza...

Product page copywriting is vitally important, but seems to be overlooked by some ecommerce sites, which simply plonk the standard manufacturer's descriptions on their pages.
Paying attention to product page copy can help improve conversions rates, as better copy can be more informative and persuasive.
It can also help your site to stand out in the search results over competitors who have paid less attention to their product descriptions.
I've rounded up some examples of great product page copywriting here, but first some views from the experts on the essentials for effective copy...

Sounds good to me. Interestingly enough you are indeed located to the north of me.
1 --> Ash
there appears to be much swampy ground and glaciers on this planet.
Yes indeed. Swamps abound in our neck of the woods. Things are not looking good for the fledgling Mexican civilization...
Precious coastline is difficult to find and in places way over populated already. Our diplomats will be tested.
Yes... The Scots seem to be rather beligerant in this game. Hehe.
Not only are the Scots rather belligerent, they are rather too close for my liking.
Prime Minister Rue has been removed from office. We Canadians are in a state of turmoil and have stopped drinking scotch. Perhaps there is a connection.
The Native Americans have run rough-shod over my outlying colonies. What a pisser... Where is our military when we need it?!?
Clearly this world is filled with brigands.
Damn the Scots. Their ability to produce wonders and troops is most irritating.
Ottawa has fallen to the Scots.
We have started an attempt to retake cities the Native Americans took from us earlier on. They have us out-teched, but I believe we have the numbers.
Canada has begun a similar reclamation of its terretory. Ottawa has already been welcomed back into the fold.
Vancouver is once again part of the great nation of
Sorry guy's just testing somthing......had to do it somwhere thread. Sorry for invading your section .
[This message has been edited by Saddam (edited May 13, 2001).]
No problem Saddam. Was your test successful?
Hey who moderates this place anyway? Or is it just run bye Rue & Ash
We have begun an agressive military campaign against the Native Americans. We've recovered our lost cities and have already conquered the largest Native American city! For great justice!
We have been taking cities from the Scots. However, our blitzkrieg has been brought to a hault by finacial problems we do not understand. One turn we have income of 100+ and the next turn a negative 500 something.
Dont build universitys, hospitals, theatres, TV's, Movies, cathedrals, or anything else that will improve happiness and science. The maintence costs , suck money from the overall budget.
A cathedral costs 20 gold a turn to maintain
Thanks for the advice, Saddam. We shall scour the country for priests and scientists and make soldiers of them.
Indeed! I was walking the fine line with my budget. My war with the Native Americans has proven costly. I wasn't paying attention to the fact that my treasurey was evaporating at an alarming rate until it was too late. Now most of my cities have revolted. Fortunately, most of my army was on the western front contending with the Native Americans. Looks like I've got my hands full now!
If it isn't Scots, it's Native Americans; if it isn't Native Americans, it's barbarians. What kind of world is this anyway?
Those damn barbarians are now messing with our only trade route! If the Canadian people can assist the Mexican people in any way against these barbarians, send word.
We are in the process of rooting them out. We've recaptured the Mexican capital and have quelled the riots with many happy shiney promises!
The Canadian juggarnaut is once again rolling over the Scots.
Well, we've recovered the majority of our rebellious cities. Just a couple more in the southern part of the country are all that's left. The stinking Barbarians have turned their once clean streets and neighborhoodds into dirty slums. It's going to take years to clean this mess up. On a positive note, Mexico City has begun construction on new modern Capital.
Sorry for intruding but, Ashman are you interested on joining in a cross-platform PBEM game?
We Canadians are pleased to announce that Canada is complete once again with several Scottish colonies added for good measure. Edinburgh, here we come.

Product Description
About the Author
An outstanding book.
by Robert - reviewed on November 13, 1999
This book examines toxic personalities -- how to recognize toxicity within ourselves and others, and deal with it. It is one of the best books I have read for dealing with problems that commonly occur within families. The book over emphasizes how destructive criticism can be (may be a personal perspective), but if you patiently plow through the repetition, you are richly rewarded with the material that follows.
Wonderful book.
by Customer - reviewed on March 07, 2007
I've noticed more and more the increase of toxic people in my life and the life of my spouse. How sad that there are such relationships that sometimes are forced upon you. This book helps to take the sting out of dealing with such people. A wonderful read.
Very empowering
by Customer - reviewed on May 15, 2009
This book is an important one for everyone since we all have to live with porcupines. It is also good for self improvement since we all behave badly at from time to time. Great book.
Good stuff
by Customer - reviewed on October 20, 2008
This book has really helped me, because I have many people on my husband's side that are hard to love. It helped to open my eyes and be more willing to try.
A must read book
by Customer - reviewed on July 10, 2012
This is an excellent book. I would recommend it to anyone that may need to understand toxic relationships or difficult relationships they may be in or know of someone in.

I agree with a previous poster - I heve been buying COH jeans for many years and the material and sizing has definitely changed. The material is thinner for sure but that makes the jean more comfy so I am not overly concerned by that. The sizing runs large for sure. I used to be a 26 in these exact jeans but now a 25 and could squeeze in a 24! Still recommend but take care on sizing :)

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorful confections are on people's minds as the "holiday of love" get closer.
Patsy's Original Candies on 21st Street in Colorado Springs has recipes that date back to the late 1800's when their founder came to America from Ireland.
Over the years they've added more chocolates and candies to the menu, but this week, their product is looking a little pink.
Whether cupid's arrow got you good or you're just looking to sugar up your sweetheart they've got 7-thousand pounds of chocolate for their heart-shaped boxes.
"This is a family business everything made right here in the factory," Si Niswonger explained.
He and his two daughters agreed, chocolates trump all other treats this holiday.
"You can't eat your roses," he joked, "You can look at 'em."
At Patsy's their crew works like Willy Wonka... using pipes to send chocolate to each end of the factory, dripping the indulgent dessert into heated mixing vats to keep it melt-in-your-mouth good.
But why chocolate? Si said, "It's something people can enjoy for a long time. They don't have to eat all the chocolates at once they can save them, or they can share them."

High in the Peruvian mountains, the ancient city of Huancavelica once contained North America's largest mercury mine. The legacy of its tainted soil remains.

HUANCAVELICA, Peru – Sonia Salazar's house, like most in her neighborhood, is built of adobe bricks made from mud that soaked up centuries of emissions from mercury smelters.
Now scientists are trying to determine whether those houses – in the shadow of a hill that once held the hemisphere's largest mercury mine – pose a health hazard to their inhabitants.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, mercury furnaces blasted day and night around this town high in the Andes Mountains. Eventually the town expanded over smelter sites and waste piles.
The researchers already have found high levels of mercury contaminating the soil as well as adobe walls, dirt floors and the air inside some houses. They are now analyzing people's hair to measure their mercury exposure.
Salazar, who is raising her four children in one of those houses, is among the residents waiting to hear whether they are being poisoned by their own houses.
"It's worrisome," Salazar said. "It's like an illness that gets into children."
Huancavelicans call their town the tierra del mercurio – the land of mercury – and even the mayor recalls having played, as a boy, with little silver balls that oozed out of the sides of ditches or building foundations.
The capital of a region with some of Peru's highest poverty, malnutrition, and infant mortality rates, Huancavelica grew up around a plaza still flanked by colonial buildings. Residential neighborhoods gradually spread along the river and up the hillsides.
"Eighty percent of the houses are made of adobe. Those are the people who have the fewest resources," said Rubén Espinoza, an archaeologist and anthropologist working with the mercury study team.
The study, which combines historical detective work with scientific analysis, might never have happened had it not been for the bizarre behavior of a priest.
Historian Nicholas Robins, director of the non-profit Environmental Health Council and a teaching assistant professor at North Carolina State University, was researching an 18th century Indian rebellion in Peru when he stumbled across a colorful description of Juan Antonio de los Santos. The priest's erratic behavior and violent outbursts terrified parishioners and led a colonial government official to suggest that his superiors commit him to an insane asylum.
The priest had spent years in Potosí, Bolivia, at the foot of Cerro Rico, the "rich hill" that for centuries supplied the silver that fueled global trade. Like small-scale miners today, colonial miners used mercury to extract silver from ore, sending tons of toxic vapor wafting over the city.
Robins wondered if the colonial cleric might have been suffering from mercury poisoning. The question led him to examine historical records of the amount of silver produced in Potosí and the mercury used to extract it.
Robins estimates that miners in the Bolivian town used some 39,000 metric tons of mercury to produce silver between 1574 and 1810. Much of that mercury came from Santa Barbara Hill, which looms over Huancavelica, about 12,000 feet above sea level. The main mine portal, now sealed, still sports a colonial arch and Spanish coat of arms.
The Spaniards' forced-labor system sent tens of thousands of Andean Indians into Santa Barbara's labyrinth of tunnels to dig cinnabar ore. So many workers perished that Santa Barbara became known as "the mine of death."
When cinnabar ore is heated, the mercury that vaporizes can be condensed, captured and stored as a liquid. Based on colonial records, Robins calculates that miners in Huancavelica produced about 68,200 metric tons of mercury in the 16th and 17th centuries, and about one-fourth of that was released into the atmosphere from smelters.

A magical -- about going to avoid a debt crisis using the fourteenth amendment.
-- -- -- -- -- is anything to get around.
A debt ceiling crisis then maybe well tackling this spending -- -- on the crisis to grow over.
Says the times very games is over it's all about spending.
Stop the spending -- stop the crisis Grover Norquist right now they don't do that broke I can understand why Americans.
You know think more dimly of -- of congress and they do -- loss depends.
Well we have an opportunity -- because if nothing happens media.
The house of the senate don't pass legislation the president sign it we have an automatic would point two trillion dollars in spending restructured.
That spending restraint.
Starting he had.
To months and it -- things they cut off though -- sequestration cuts they've put off for 22 months.
Right -- which was very good because his luggage that was wrapped up but it.
Basket with the tax issue it was going to be that stop.
Very important what.
Republican leader of the senate Mitch McConnell that separated out.
Give us two months.
We come back the Republicans in the house to pass an alternative.
Say it's just as much money but does it somewhat differently so if the Democrats wanna say we don't like the specifics.
Of how the -- Questar is.
Find we have an alternative if you'd like to pass something in the seventh that would be tied to.
My guess is that Democrats in this that it will be unable to pass any budget cut of the same size as the sequester.
And -- what we'll get.
Is the sequester.
Our but all that real around the same time to the debt ceiling impasse and that's where they think of that as Democrats they have the the Republicans in the corner.
That there were no way to Republicans -- government shut down on this so.
They the Republicans could risk grabbing defeat from the jaws of what would appear to be victory.
That as you remember it was midway through 2011.
A year and a half ago.
That the president -- states.
Said that he was gonna drive us off.
The edge of the world we're gonna default.
I have -- Republicans agreed to a tax increase she was -- strike the economy.
-- debt default that everything.
And of course at the end of the day the president.
Yeah believe that a committee had been reelected he's got the wind that is -- he feels he's got Republicans number.
And the beat there he's been playing this game a lot more shrewdly and a lot more cleverly -- and Republicans an idea assumes they lost their backbone.
Canada and Illinois you're you're comparing.
The fiscal -- Where the president had all the power because of nothing -- that you got a 500 billion dollar tax increase.
Now on what or how I'm not I'm comparing in 2011.
And the way he -- that -- -- prior to that the way he played an and an extended all the bush rates because.
He was concerned at his own tail between his legs he's been reelected he feels emboldened feels cocky and who -- blame on the way to Republicans might not feel like Nostradamus.
Your position as it now that his job is secure he doesn't care about the rest of ours.
That's true yes but he is raising taxes on doubt small businesses and high income -- we've -- the economy.
I think Republicans it's Eric you -- you got your way no more but doubt a -- seem to say we're gonna we're gonna get you Republicans have put two and another -- are.
Because if you -- pop that -- we're gonna blame you for the government potentially shutting down.
To -- the sequester which is an automatic one point two trillion dollar.
Cut the budget is not a -- -- -- -- is over genuine advantage of yet another lady out.
Close to the old debt ceiling thing and Democrats I think -- to be wrong and a little too jaded here Grover I think just timing both.
To be around the same time.
Well breast about they -- however.
Remember Geithner announced that everything -- that that the first.
Debt ceiling deadline was January 31 which was a lie.
And just put -- Tryon.
Mesh that with the fiscal clap for the Republicans said -- separate issue.
It's also a separate issue from.
That's sequester and let the Republicans it's sad and what they held the president to a year and a half ago the president lost Republicans won.
On the question.
If we're going to raise the debt ceiling because Obama -- overspending.
You have to cut spending dollar for dollar by the same amount.
Nader has reiterated that that's a must -- -- And so it's Mitch McConnell and the president I'd states can stand up third -- I lied Q what I said I wanted to reduce spending I lied Q and I said I was gonna.
Offer government reforms but if he does that I think he's -- a very weak position the Democrats are kidding themselves if they think the American people want to continue the overspending.
And the debt that Obama is now running -- but -- after the debt ceiling.
Which by the way we can give the president -- -- the debt ceiling increase or six months or a year.
It there's it's it's elastic.
That you have the continuing resolutions.
Because the Democrats in the senate have not passed a budget or written a budget in more than three years -- we have something called the CR -- continued resolution.
Of that growth and that in nearest genius but you lost me about ten minutes ago I'm kidding -- are your points are very good -- thank you grow.
Wanna get you back because there and amassed -- -- -- -- Grover Norquist.
And Washington.

Any experiences concerning scalability (for medium > sized systems, 128 to 256 nodes)? Is it better in every respect compared > to Fast Ethernet (apart from cost)? How much faster did your code > run? (And do you know why?) It depends. For some apps, fast ethernet is enough, and anything faster consumes money better spent on additional nodes (costs are about $10K - $13K USD for an eight node network using either Giganet, Myrinet, or Gigabit ethernet.). On the other hand, if you are bandwidth and/or latency sensitive, one of those networks could be worth far more than additional nodes. While Giganet, Myrinet, and gigabit ethernet all provide similar bandwidths, gigabit ethernet has about the same latency as fast ethernet, so it's not a great deal unless you need the system support, e.g., TCP/IP. Myrinet and Giganet are both application-level networks, that is, your app (e.g., MPI libraries) need to deal with the network -- this is one of the reasons for the low latency. So, as always, the answer will depend upon the specific application you have in mind. If you can find benchmarks for your app or a similar one, you're in luck. If not, then be very careful about the conclusions you draw. -- David N. Lombard MSC.Software
