Scalable OS
by TLy on Mon 15th Jul 2002 21:10 UTC

I just read this article on The Inquirer http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=4423

Apparently Windows 2000/XP doesn't like high speed CPUs such as the Pentium 4 2.8 GHz. The result is an unstable system that would crash often. The same symtoms can be seen when combining a slower clocked P4 with a high speed chipset like the Intel 845G.

My point? What good is ridicuously high clock speeds if the OS can't handle it? I'm wondering how OSX will handle thier own CPUs at higher clock speeds.
