I don't know if i'll ever use them... but they're free eh?

Trying to increase popularity in 64-bit programming. At least if I get them I'll have more books for my bookshelf! :-)
neat. i got em ;D
hrmmmmm
interesting, so they're actaully free?(too busy to search through the site)...
Bastards only ship to the US and Canada >:(
wooo Canada!
I'll get a second copy for Arta and mail it to him (postage due, of course!)
nice nice! :)
Apparently Intel is running the same dealy.

Nice, 32-bit and apparently free :-)
Thanks :)
if i sign up i wont be added to any Book mailing list will i?...
I'll tell you in 6 to 8 weeks ;-)
:-/
My God, Intel FedEx'd the books here! In Canada! They're huge, too, no crappy little manuals! These are like ~1000 pages each!
iago, when did you order?
hahaha, so nice. I'm still waiting on mine (both intel and amd) soo we'll see!
Feb. 11th, just before Eibro posted this (He told me about it, and I told him to come post it here).
Less than a week, though, that's very impressive!
YOU SUCK. I ordered mine on the 11th too, and have not received them. Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Perhaps they use US Postal Service within the US and FedEx to Canada :-)
:'(
Mail sucks.
Would you rather pick them up yourself?
No, I'd rather vL invent a teleporter like in Star Trek ;)
I'll get right on that. Care to be the first test subject?
"He's dead Jim"
How cool would that be to like...email yourself as an attachment?
I ordered a second set on Monday (today is wednesday) for to get to Arta, and it arrived today :)
DIE you got 2 before i even got 1 :(
mine just got here~!
time of arrival 2:04 PM :D
you bastards..
well its the 19th lets see how fast it gets here ^^
Only books 2 and 3 came >:(
QuoteOnly books 2 and 3 came >:(
reorder #1 lol
ugh.. i didnt get the 2nd and 3rd book either
I havent gotten anything :( >:( :-/
Quoteugh.. i didnt get the 2nd and 3rd book either
Maybe they come in seperate boxes?
Ordered the 12th and still nothing..
Also the video card I ordered on the 15th still isn't here :(
WOO HOO .. got mine today ... however, I got everything EXCEPT the Volume 1.
Received:
Processor Optimization Reference Manual
Volume 2: Instruction Set Manual
Volume 3: System Programming Guide

Is that first one Xeon processor manual? That's what I got, and no Volume 1. I assume the demand was too high, so it's probably on backorder somewhere. We should bitch that we want our moneys back :D
FYI -- I got this email from someone at Intel:
"To order publications or texts in hardcopy form, or to check the status of an order you have already placed, you can contact the Technical Documentation Center at 1-800-548-4725"
Jerks! Now I know why mine never came; I only ordered volume 1...
Well, there's your problem! I would suggest ordering volume 2, at least, it's the only one I'll ever use most likely.
iago's boguarding all the books!! get him!!!!!

The 'optimizing' book appears quite useful. It describes different situations, which code to use, and even explains why to use them.
For example, it talks about the use of INC and DEC, and says you should generally look to replace them with ADD and SUB instead. The reason? INC and DEC do not affect all flags, while ADD and SUB do. This could lead to subtle programming errors from the former's usage if you are expecting all flags to change.
It even has examples on optimizing C code for the Intel compilers.
5days ^^
i just got my FedEx box also only got book 2 & 3.
along with the backorder slip.
=[ I havent gotten shit!

hmm, perhaps I should look more closely, then! I just flipped through it and put it on my bookshelf, but I put vol. 2 beside my computer :)
Did anyone get their AMD books yet?
I haven't gotten anything yet. I got fed up and ordered the other 3 books from Intel just now.
I finally ordered the Intel ones. I don't know if I'll bother with the AMD ones, though...
My AMD books still havn't come.. I even ordered them a while before I ordered the intel books.
yea, i ordered the AMD one's before intel. those still aren't here...
Yes, AMD seems slower. And they also seem useless, but more books have never hurt anybody (well, unless they fell on him I guess..)
;D
heh, poor anybody.
Poor Yoni*. Nobody likes free shipping to Israel, it seems.
i got the intel ones, no Volume 1 tho, what good are these books now

"If you're going to send me free stuff, do it right!"
"I want my money's worth!"
I got mine today, only took 3 days from the time of ordering.
I havent gotten mine at all! And I ordered about 10-15 days ago..
Woooo!!
finally got all my intel books except for Vol1. I guess the reason why it took so long is because it had to go through border checks....
QuoteWoooo!!

Mine also had to go across the border, so that can't be why.
I doubt they ship each order as it comes in... i'd bet it's one or two days a week when all orders get shipped.
I haven't received my AMD books though, has anyone else?
nope not here 8(
I got my Intel books. I wish Volume I was in stock -- I'll try reordering it later I suppose.
They should send you Volume 1 when it becomes available. Ordering again may eventually get you two volumes ;)
I ordered my Intel books 3 days ago and got them today, sans volume one of course. I ordered the AMD books Feb 15, and they're still not here. AMD needs to get their act together...
Quotetwo volumes
Please send all your excess books to the following address:

Thanks.

I'll Be Your Test Subject '-'
I got my books 3 working days after ordering. Except I wasn't home so FedEx couldn't deliver them. Going to arrange for a new pickup another day.
And you're way the heck far away from CO, aren't you?
Only just across the atlantic... It apparently got to europe in the second day, then delivery inside europe took another day.
hmm, I thought it was across the Pacific, then across Asia and the better part of Europe. Guess I was wrong ;-)
Now, we're going to thank _____ for telling us about these free books.
Now, we're going to thank Intel for telling us about these free books.
Now we're going to close this thread because it's so long and so pointless.
But.. we're going for a record!
Plus, where else will we announce when AMD books come in! :)
QuoteNow we're going to close this thread because it's so long and so pointless.
Yes Mr.Moderator, sir.
Don't give me that attitude.
But it's 80 POSTS LONG!
im guessing AMD dosen't have the money like Intel does to send them via FedEX 8p
They're probably sending it via US Mail. Chances are, we won't see 'em for a few months.
DIE THREAD! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Yup, I got my Intel books from FedEx the other day. Good stuff.

Nobody has gotten Intel's Volume 1, is that correct?

Nice. How much overlap material with the Intel? Do the AMD include the complete Intel instruction set reference?

I didn't get a comfirmation e-mail from Intel... think I should order them again? (I ordered last night around 11).
My AMD books arrived today, as did a coworker's. All 5. Still no Volume 1 Intel.

I also received my AMD books today... 5 of em. They're smaller than the intel books, but more plentyful. As a plus, they're all pretty colors.
got my amd books... they look all pretty!

I want more free books plz.... ;D
Seemingly, I was the first to get Intel's and last to get AMD's..
*continues waiting.
Got my AMDs.
I thought I'd add that I got mine. !!!!!! :)
Just for completeness, someone needs to find where we can get free manuals for Motorola(68000*) and IBM(PowerPC) CPUs.
How about TRON?

Well, it's only $25 for the 110 page book, somebody ought to order it! Or you can download the pdf and print it, just so you can say you have it :)
i ordered the books like 1 1/2 months ago (or around that long ago) i still ain't got it ... .:'`':._.:'`':.
Let's make this thread ten pages.
good idea!
Yes.
Then it's settled.
Will somebody PLEASE put this thread out of its misery, PLEASE?!
