Can someone tell me why my DOS windows close on me all the time. I cleared
the "close on exit" box, but it still closes on me.

John,

The simple answer is that is the way windows is designed to function, =
but don't ask me why.=20

I perfer this method:
  #include <iostream.h>
  #include <conio_mingw.h>

  int main()
  {
        /* your code goes here */

        while (!kbhit());
        return 0;
  }
Regards,

Bob

Hi,

a other method is:

#include <cstdlib>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  [...]

  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;
}

regards

Hi all,
I am about to get myself a new PC. I have always used Intel based PC's and
after all that I have heard about AMD ATHLON in terms of speed (ie faster
than its INTEL competitor) I am tempted to give it a try. I however want
know if this claim is true and if it has any drawbacks with respect to
programming

Cheers

Napleon.

It is usually faster than equivallent MHz INTEL CPUs (they have the
rating to which INTEL CPU are equivallent, e.g. 1800+ etc). You can
compare prizes between an AMD "rating-speed" CPU and an Intel CPU to
decide.

For example an 1800+ AMD CPU has the same overall performance to an
INTEL 1800 MHz CPU. So you can buy the cheaper. On the other side, Intel
CPUs are the standard.

Intel on the other side is the standard.

At the moment Athlons are faster and cheaper than their equivalents in the P4 range, which is good
enough for me. Also, just a quick correction, the official line with the Athlon XP ????+ where the
???? is a number i.e. 2100, the number represents how fast the clock speed of an Athlon based on the
older Athlon CPU core would have to run to get the same performance.

Here's an article you may find interesting: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2107765,00.html

Personally I think the Athlons represent a bettor ethos in engineering, and that Intel is trying to
use big numbers i.e. clock speed and transistor count, to make the uneducated think it must be
better.

PS: BTW there's a pretty obvious mistake in the article where it says 1.733MHz which I assume should
be 1.733GHz. My old spectrum processor (Z80) ran faster than 1.733MHz! :)

Sorry but I have to put in my 2 cents
check out his site for information on the chips themselves
http://www.emulators.com/pentium4.htm
Check out round 1 for a comparison of both price and performance.
it is under the Pentium 4 - Generation 7 or complete stupidity?
section

also as a C++ programmer you have nothing to worry about,
the compiler takes care of those details.
if you were programming in assembly the only difference 
is you have a few more or a few less instructions avalible
this rarely makes a difference unless you have a program 
optimized for that specific processor as most of the extra
instructions.
