The OLPC plans to provide such a server with 330 gigabytes of memory for roughly 100 US dollars. Unfortunately, the first such server has yet to be seen. Few schoolchildren live near their school; most live near other schoolchildren. So the developers came up with something clever for wireless connections between XOs via WLAN: the WLAN chips operate as a mesh, with each laptop passing on data for others. Less infrastructure is needed in such mesh networks; in extreme cases, all that is needed is a single WLAN base station to get all of the schoolchildren connected to the Internet."<br><br>330 Gigabytes of RAM for $100! Wow, where can I get a server that cheap!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 12th 2007 1:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OLPC rundown: XO gets naked, project detailed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/olpc-rundown-xo-gets-naked-project-detailed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/olpc-rundown-xo-gets-naked-project-detailed/</guid><description><![CDATA[woot! its got an amd processor!!!! i cant wait till we start seeing these things in goodwill display cases!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kyle allen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 13th 2007 1:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OLPC rundown: XO gets naked, project detailed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/olpc-rundown-xo-gets-naked-project-detailed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/olpc-rundown-xo-gets-naked-project-detailed/</guid><description><![CDATA[They started R&D on this before the technology was ready.  This is a UMPC and Intel is already tooling smaller micron processors specifically to boost runtimes on UMPCs.  By going with AMD, they are using a woefully underpowered chip and still not likely to meet their desired power consumption goals.  If you read the article, they haven't met them yet and I'm not sure what they can do to bridge the gap with their existing architecture.  If they can not get an all-day runtime on the battery it will be an engineering failure.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ug]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 14th 2007 2:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OLPC rundown: XO gets naked, project detailed]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/olpc-rundown-xo-gets-naked-project-detailed/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/11/olpc-rundown-xo-gets-naked-project-detailed/</guid><description><![CDATA[There is a pretty-decent FPGA (Altera Cyclone II) in that picture!! An FPGA of that class is useful for much more than just glue logic - With the proper integration of those reconfigurable logic resources (with software) this machine could have some really interesting applications that are just not possible with 'conventional' laptops. If only it had an ARM applications processor (hint) in it rather than the AMD x86 monster. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Samuel Bayliss]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 14th 2007 6:15AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
