I didn’t know who Duke was… I just knew this afternoon when it was included in our Java final exam. Who really cares about him. It’s not even included in our syllabus!
Duke’s first appearance was on September 3, 1992 in a PDA-like device called Star7. He is the smart agent that assists user in its application. Later, Duke became Java’s friendly mascot. (Friendly?)
It’s a shame that I didn’t know its name earlier… -_-;

Do you know why? Because AMD trashes Intel out of the competition in 64-bit dual-core processor match up. I’ve been waiting for years that AMD surpasses Intel processors and now that it is a reality, I’ll be more than happy to buy a new AMD-powered PC next year.
Whatever is the task, from day-to-day software applications to gaming, multitasking, photo editing and multimedia, AMD Athlon X2 is the winner. Intel is not even close. I’m also convienced that AMD gives the best value for money even if the prize fight claimed Intel’s Pentium D 820 as the best-valued processor.
