Straight Dope Staff Report: Who wrote the Bible? (Part 3) (3312 words) |
 | The text was revised and expanded after the fall of Jerusalem, and perhaps during the time of rebuilding (485 BC or later), to reflect changed circumstances. |
 | Ezekiel was taken to Babylon with the exiles in 597 BC, and prophesied there during the exile from 593 to 563 BC. |
 | The book of Daniel is set during the Babylonian Exile (580 BC and after), and tradition says it was written at that time, with an oracular preview of several centuries of future history. |
| 21154 bridge with 840 chipset (170 words) |
 | Plug-in CPUs that will drive this are rare, but we have managed to procure a 64-bit plug-in CPU from Diversified Technology based on an Intel 840 chipset. |
 | I am running diagnostics supplied with a Syskonnect gigabyte ethernet card and pass all diagnostics tests (indicating reliable data path) but have substantially slower measured DMA rates (98 MBytes/sec @ 33 MHz) through the 21154 as compared to the same diagnostic test and hardware in an unbridged connection (167 MBytes/sec @ 33 MHz). |
 | I have heard rumors of 840 chipset thoughput issues, but have not found any verification of that from Intel. |
