Although the file format is the same in MS-DOS and CP / M,. COM files for the two operating systems are not compatible ; MS-DOS COM files contain x86 instructions and possibly MS-DOS system calls, while CP / M COM files contain 8080 instructions ( programs restricted to certain machines could also contain additional instructions for 8085 or Z80 ) and CP / M system calls.

Although we continue to pay our conversational devotions to `` free private enterprise '', `` individual initiative '', `` the democratic way '', `` government of the people '', `` competition of the marketplace '', etc., we live rather comfortably in a society in which economic competition is diminishing in large areas, bureaucracy is corroding representative government, technology is weakening the citizen's confidence in his own power to make decisions, and the threat of war is driving him economically and physically into the ground ''.

Although we have no measures of its strength or intensity, the heritage of the doctrine of inalienable rights is retained.

Although because of the important achievements of nineteenth century scholars in the field of textual criticism the advance is not so striking as it was in the case of archaeology and place-names, the editorial principles laid down by Stevenson in his great edition of Asser and in his Crawford Charters were a distinct improvement upon those of his predecessors and remain unimproved upon today.

Although Patchen has given previous evidence of an interest in jazz, the musical group that he works with, the Chamber Jazz Sextet, is often ignored by jazz critics.

Although the false glamour surrounding bourbon or other whisky commercials is possibly no more fatuous than the pseudo-sophistication with which TV soft-drinks are downed or toothpaste applied, there is a sad difference between enticing a viewer into sipping Oopsie-Cola and gulling him into downing bourbon.

Although the United States and the U.S.S.R. have been arguing whether there shall be four, five or six top assistants, the most important element in the situation is not the number of deputies but the manner in which these deputies are to do their work.

Although the 8080 was generally an 8-bit processor, it also had limited abilities to perform 16-bit operations: Any of the three 16-bit register pairs ( BC, DE, HL ) or SP could be loaded with an immediate 16-bit value ( using LXI ), incremented or decremented ( using INX and DCX ), or added to HL ( using DAD ).

Although MIME allows encoding the message body in various character sets ( broader than ASCII ), the underlying transmission infrastructure ( SMTP, the main E-mail transfer standard ) is still not guaranteed to be 8-bit clean.

Although the previous generation of consoles had also used 8-bit processors, it was at the end of this generation that home consoles were first labeled by their " bits ".

Although the depictions were toned down from the original Japanese counterparts and limited by the 8-bit technology of the NES, it was not all together clear how this content was released uncensored.

Although Windows 3. 0 only came with 7 small patterns ( 2 black-and-white and 5 16-color ), the user could supply other images in the BMP file format with up to 8-bit color ( although the system was theoretically capable of handling 24-bit color images, it did so by dithering them to an 8-bit palette ).

Although the price point rose to £ 9. 95, the label became synonymous with many classic 8-bit titles, such as Elite, Revs, Druid and The Sentinel.

Although there is a substantial difference in play between the two, levels remain largely the same and all the 8-bit versions have been cited as classics.

Although so far as is known 8-bit applications could still be coded, desktop accessories, drivers etc.

Although many people who had just upgraded from an 8-bit home computer found it to be faster than the BASIC for their old computer, and were impressed with the ST's graphical abilities, and the ability to have the program's output display in a different window than the program-listing, they soon realised that not only did it contain several bugs, but that once other BASICs started to come out on the ST, they realised just how slow ST BASIC was, and that the use of GEM was more of a hindrance once the novelty wore off ( the fact that GEM on the ST was limited to four windows and that the ST BASIC interface already used four windows did not help ).

Although the original arcade version featured a color palette of 384 colors, the hardware used consisted of several 8-bit processors running in parallel ; 16-bit technology was cost-prohibitive at the time the game was first released.

Although complex, the transistor count of CISC decoders do not grow exponentially like the total number of transistors per processor ( the majority typically used for caches ).

Although the Alpha processor family met both of these goals, and, for most of its lifetime, was the fastest processor family on the market, it did little to affect the bottom line or repair the company's status.

# Although RISC was indeed able to scale up in performance quite quickly and cheaply, Intel took advantage of its large market by spending vast amounts of money on processor development.

Although SGI continued to market Itanium-based machines, its more recent machines were based on the Intel Xeon processor.

Although the same is true for any super-scalar processor design, the level of parallelism in a SIMD system is typically much higher.

Although ARCNET could at one time outperform a Ethernet in a busy office on slow processors, ARCNET ultimately gave way to Ethernet as improved processor speeds reduced the impact of collisions on overall throughput, and Ethernet costs dropped.

Although the processor was inferior to its predecessor, the Pentium III, on a clock-for-clock basis, Intel designed the processor to be capable of reaching much higher clock speeds than the Pentium III.

Although software tools are available for testing hardware stability, it is generally impossible for any private individual to thoroughly test the functionality of a processor.

Although many people reported that Sun Microsystems ' UltraSPARC T1 ( known as " Niagara " until its 14 November 2005 release ) and the now defunct processor codenamed " Rock " ( originally announced in 2005, but after many delays cancelled in 2009 ) are implementations of SPARC focused almost entirely on exploiting SMT and CMP techniques, Niagara is not actually using SMT.

Although such medium security may deter a casual hacker, the lack of a processor core in the dongle to authenticate data, perform encryption / decryption, and execute inaccessible binary code makes such a passive dongle inappropriate for all but the lowest-priced software.

Although there is one main memory, there are several caches ( one per processor ), and unless preventative steps are taken, the same memory location may be loaded into two caches, and given two different values.

Although Tremolo and Loveless featured more sampling and sampled guitar, Shields has noted that a Jaguar or Jazzmaster with some strings in an open tuning combined with an effects processor ( such as the Yamaha SPX90 ) can achieve a massive swirling guitar sound with one guitar, whilst sounding like numerous overdubs.

Although seen more often as an educational device, pancake sorting also appears in applications in parallel processor networks, in which it can provide an effective routing algorithm between processors.

Although the small die size and low power-usage made the processor notably inexpensive to manufacture, it never gained much market share.

Although the hardware QSystem ( TM ) professional mixing processors and plug-in producer-side software tools were significant product offerings in the 1990s, most QSound technology is now incorporated in end-user products ( such as video game software, computer sound cards and home entertainment electronics ) by means of analog integrated circuits, digital signal processor ( DSP ) software libraries, host processor software and the like.

Although more capable hardware can use a wider variety of sizes of data, market forces exert pressure to maintain backward compatibility while extending processor capability.
